Bánh Cuốn (Steamed Rice Rolls)

Rice rolls are delicate labors of love and the perfect vessels for various fillings, yet delectable enough to be eaten alone. This classic Vietnamese rice roll starts with a thin, crepe-like batter that gets steamed in a pan; the resulting noodle sheet is light with just the right amount of bounce. The rice roll's pleasantly chewy bite pairs well with flavorful meats and rich sauces (try this Bánh Cuốn with pork, shrimp, and mushrooms). For best results, use a nonstick pan.
