Items Required

A cup of rice our


Water
A large stockpot
A bowl
Rolling pin
Quilting hoop
Cheesecloth
Cooling Rack

Method

Add the rice our to the bowl. Slowly add water and mix well,
making sure the mixture is not lumpy. Add enough water till you
get a smooth paste that is easy to pour over.
Fill up half the stockpot with water and let it boil.
Take the cheesecloth and place it into the quilting hoop. Make sure
the size of the quilting hoop is bigger than the lid of the stockpot.
Carefully place the hoop with the cheesecloth over the rim of the
stockpot.
Pour the rice our batter slowly over the cheesecloth and smooth it

inside for a three minutes.


 Once the three minutes are up, take off the lid and the quilting 
hoop. Be careful since both items are bound to be extremely hot.
Place the hoop on the cooling rack.
With the rolling-pin, roll the steamed rice paper onto the pin from
the hoop and then unroll it back again on to the cooling rack. The
rice paper must be cooled for at least 12 hours before it can be used.
Following the above steps, you can make several rice papers till you
exhaust the entire bowl of rice our batter.

You see, making rice paper is not such a lengthy process. You will get it
right once you master the technique by practicing a few times over. If you
do not have a quilting hoop and a cheesecloth, you can use a wire screen
mesh that is ordinarily used to cover pots to prevent hot oil from
splattering. Smoothing out a ladle of rice batter on to the screen mesh
works much in the same way as a cheesecloth.
