Ingredients: 

  • 2 sheet of Sa Giang Rice Paper (cut into 4 pieces each sheet)
  • 1 can of tuna, drained
  • Lettuce, shredded
  • Carrots, shredded
  • Cucumber, sliced
  • Spicy mayo (for drizzling)

Direction:

1. Fry the Rice Paper Shells:

Heat a shallow layer of oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Once hot, carefully lower a rice paper piece into the oil.

It should puff and crisp in just a few seconds – remove with tongs as soon as it’s golden and bubbly.

Drain on paper towels and let cool. Repeat with all pieces.

2. Prep the Filling:

Shred the lettuce and carrots.

Slice the cucumber.

Drain and fluff the tuna in a bowl (optional: season with a little soy sauce or lemon juice).

3. Assemble:

Arrange crispy rice paper “taco” shells on a plate.

Top with lettuce, carrots, and cucumber slices.

Spoon tuna into each shell.

4. Finish:

Drizzle spicy mayo over the top.

Sprinkle with nori flakes.

🌟 Tips & Serving Ideas:
