Vietnamese Rice Paper Snacks (Bánh Tráng): 4 Saigon Street Snacks You Can Enjoy at Home

by Bếp Ông Bụi November 2, 2026

Most people outside Vietnam know rice paper as the wrapper for fresh spring rolls. But in Saigon, rice paper (bánh tráng) is also one of the most popular street snacks in the city. After school, students crowd around little carts selling rice paper tossed with dried shrimp, herbs, chili and sauces. It is cheap, bold, a little messy and very addictive.

Here are four Vietnamese rice paper snacks you can enjoy at home, no cooking needed.

1. Bánh tráng trộn – Rice paper salad

The king of Saigon street snacks. Strips of rice paper are tossed with dried shrimp, fried shallots, herbs, chili, a little sauce and sometimes quail eggs or beef jerky. Sweet, salty, sour and spicy in every bite.

Our Bánh Tráng Trộn bowl comes ready to mix, with a bowl and chopsticks included. Just open, toss and eat. Great for a quick afternoon snack or a taste of Saigon when you miss home.

2. Bánh tráng tỏi muối ớt – Garlic chili rice paper

Crispy rice paper seasoned with garlic salt and a mild chili kick. It is crunchy, savory and very easy to keep eating, perfect for movie nights and parties. Our Garlic Chili Rice Paper comes in a 300 g bag, made in Vietnam and ready to eat.

3. Bánh tráng cuộn tôm cay – Spicy shrimp rice paper rolls

Little rolls of chewy-crispy rice paper wrapped around savory dried shrimp with a spicy kick. Bite-sized and easy to share. Try our Spicy Rice Paper Shrimp Rolls (7 oz).

4. Bánh tráng khô mực – Grilled rice paper with squid

Rice paper grilled until crispy with the smoky, savory flavor of dried squid. Salty, a little sweet and a little spicy. Our Grilled Squid Rice Paper is a favorite with customers who love seafood snacks.

Tips for enjoying rice paper snacks

Eat crispy ones soon after opening and close the bag tightly so they stay crunchy.
Add extras: crushed peanuts, a squeeze of lime, fresh herbs or a little beef jerky turn a snack into a mini meal.
Share them: rice paper snacks are made for groups. Put a few kinds out at a party and watch them disappear.
