We went to a village about an hour away with the traffic. It is a small peninsula village with about 10000 people most of whom make rice paper which is sold all over the place. The other product is a large cracker. We saw both in production.
Women are the workers to make these food items. The men deliver the raw ingredients and then the finished rice paper to cutters who remove the thin layers and stack and cut them for market.
We tried our hand at making rice paper with help each of us who wanted a go was seated at a hot plate with a cover. Essentially the mixture is steamed. Spring rolls use the thin pancake as is and Summer rolls are deep fried after the rolls are made.
