Similar to the lamination of dough and butter in a classic croissant technique -- though still vastly different -- this recipe requires the porous sheets of rice paper to be dipped in an egg wash and piled high, layer upon layer, before cutting it into the familiar triangle shape that gets rolled up and baked to puff into a golden pastry.
