These rice paper chips are an excellent alternative to classic potato chips! Ultra-crisp, light and ready in just a few minutes, they can be made with very few ingredients and no complicated equipment. Simply dip the rice paper sheets in hot oil: they swell instantly and become crispy in seconds. Once fried, they can be seasoned to taste with nori seaweed, sesame seeds or spices, or even used as a base for sweet or savoury fillings. Perfect for an aperitif or to accompany salmon tartare, these homemade chips are as simple as they are versatile!

FAQ ❓
How do rice paper chips keep?
Rice paper chips can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature, but are best eaten fresh.
Can I use other seasonings for the chips?
Yes, feel free to create your own seasoning. Here, I suggest you crumble some nori seaweed, toast some sesame seeds in a frying pan for a few minutes and then crush them. Put everything in a salad bowl, mix, add the chips as soon as they come out of the pan and shake to distribute the flavours evenly. You can also opt for simpler seasonings such as salt, pepper and paprika, herbs... Or even plain!
Can rice paper chips be garnished?
Yes, absolutely. I originally created this recipe to garnish them, and you can follow the steps by clicking here.
Why do rice paper swell so quickly in oil?
Rice leaves contain water, and when immersed in hot oil, the water quickly evaporates, causing them to swell instantly.
What's the best oil to use for frying chips?
Sunflower or rapeseed oil are ideal, as they have a high smoke point, making them perfect for frying.
Can rice paper chips be baked in the oven?
Yes, you can bake them in the oven at a high temperature for a healthier version, but the texture will be different from that of fried chips.
