Winnetka Restaurant Guide

Low in calorie, rice papers (banh trang) are ideal for a low-carbohydrate or a gluten-free diet. A typical rice paper, about 9-inch in diameter, has less than 50 calories (compared to 144 calories from a typical 8-inch wheat or corn tortilla). Used by Vietnamese traditionally as a mean to wrap and roll cooked shrimp and poached pork slices (goi cuon tom thit), rice papers provide not only a simple way to wrap a bouquet of flavors into one bite but also a convenient way to eat healthy food whether on the go or at a dining table, as an appetizer or as a meal itself. At Rice PapierTM we select only the most delicate and super thin rice papers to make the spring roll dishes.

They are thus lower in calories (less than 30 calories each), less starchy and less chewy as a result. With each bite of the spring rolls prepared in our kitchen we hope that you will experience a burst of flavors coming from the fresh Vietnamese herbs the freshly cooked meat or seafood, the crunchiness of the fresh veggies the krispies and the house dipping sauce. So let's roll & enjoy!
