- When grilling the rice paper, be careful not to let the charcoal get too hot, as it makes it difficult to roll and the rice paper can easily burn.
- If you find it quite difficult to roll the rice paper, you can leave it on the grill until the egg is cooked, but it might be a bit hard to hold when eating.
- After rolling the rice paper, flip it evenly so that it cooks evenly without burning.
