This crispy ramen rice paper roll is serious comfort food! It’s made with gluten-free ramen wrapped in rice paper that’s lightly crisped making it the perfect bite for an appetizer.
What are crispy ramen rolls?
These ramen rolls are basically a little crispy bite of heaven. They’re made with seasoned ramen noodles and some fresh vegetables that are wrapped in rice paper and crisped in a pan. I love serving them as an appetizer, or as a side dish like you would an egg roll!
Are these crispy ramen rolls healthy?
They are gluten and soy-free so they’re allergen-friendly, but I definitely consider these more of comfort food, special occasion meal, and not “healthy“. But in my opinion, it is healthy to have balance, so these are really fun to pair with an otherwise healthy meal when you want something fun!
The Ingredients for Crispy Ramen Rolls
- Gluten-Free Ramen. I like using this gluten-free ramen!
- Coconut Aminos, Rice Vinegar, and Coconut Sugar. These ingredients give the ramen great flavor.
- Cabbage and Carrots. I love the crunch of fresh cabbage and carrots in the rolls.
- Rice paper. I use this rice paper!
How to make Crispy Ramen Rolls
- Step 1. Cook the ramen as directed and season.
- Step 2. Dip the rice paper in a large bowl of water for about 5 seconds or until softened. Fill the ramen rolls.
- Step 3. Roll into a tight roll.
- Step 4. Crisp the rolls in a pan. Remove from the pan and allow to cool before serving with a sauce if desired.
How do you serve these ramen rolls?
I love serving them as an appetizer, or as a side dish like you would an egg roll! They’re best eaten with your hands, so wait for them to cool a bit, or you can try using a utensil if you prefer.
They have a ton of flavor on their own but you can also add a sauce for dipping like…
- A Thai peanut-style sauce (like this one)
- Teriyaki sauce (like this one)
- A chili sauce
Can you make these crispy ramen rolls ahead of time?
I find that these are best fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can keep them in the fridge for a day or so and re-crisp in a pan or in the air fryer.
Can you make these ramen rolls in the air fryer?
You can! I would cook it at 400 F for about 6-8 minutes. However, I find these still crisp better in a pan than the air fryer.
