I typically fill a wide shallow bowl partway with water; a baking dish may be substituted. The water temperature should be warm - not hot. In general, thinner rice paper requires cooler water. When making hand rolls at the table, set out one or two communal dipping bowls for guests. Dip by sliding or rotating. When dipping rice papers in water, aim to moderately wet (not completely soften) both sides. Horizontally slide or rotate each rice paper. If rice paper lingers in water for too long, it goes limp and may collapse on itself and stick. After dipping, put the paper on a flat work surface. If you’re making a bunch of rolls in advance of serving, work in batches and use a large work surface like a cutting board. Wait for the right moment. After a rice paper is dipped, it takes a minute or two to fully soften and become usable. It’s ready for wrapping and rolling when it’s pliable and slightly sticky.
