- Fresh Herbs: Chopped chives and coriander add a burst of freshness to the savoury filling.
- Soy Sauce and Cornstarch: A splash of soy sauce brings umami, while cornstarch helps bind everything together and ensures a crispy texture.
- Rice Papers: These light yet crispy wrappers hold the filling perfectly. You can find rice papers at Chinese markets, Asian grocery stores, or in the international section of major supermarkets.

How to Make Air-Fried Rice Paper Parcels
Prepare the Filling
Start by combining the minced beef, onion, garlic, chives, coriander, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix everything together until well combined. If you plan to serve with soy sauce, there’s no need to add extra salt. For other sauces, you may wish to add a pinch of salt to taste.
Prepare the Spicy Topping
In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese, yoghurt, and sriracha until smooth to create the spicy topping.
Assemble the Parcels
To assemble the rice paper parcels, briefly dip each rice paper into water. The paper will soften as you add the filling. Lay each rice paper flat on a surface and cut it in half. Spoon the filling onto each half near the edge, then roll it tightly to enclose the filling, folding the edges as you go. Repeat this with the remaining rice papers and filling until all parcels are assembled.
Cook the Parcels
Once the parcels are ready, add a small dollop of the spicy topping to each one. Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray lightly with cooking spray and air fry until they are golden and crispy.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve the parcels garnished with chopped chives and alongside soy sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
Perfect for Any Occasion
These Air-Fried Rice Paper Parcels are perfect for any occasion—whether you’re hosting a party, craving a quick snack, or looking for a healthy meal. With customisable filling options and an irresistible crispy texture, they’re sure to be a hit.

Note
Cooking Spray: Make sure to spray the rice paper parcels evenly with cooking spray to achieve a crispy, golden texture. If you prefer a lighter version, you can reduce the amount of cooking spray.
Custom Filling Options: Feel free to swap the minced beef for leaner meats such as chicken or turkey, or use plant-based alternatives for a vegetarian version.
Adjusting Spice: If you prefer a milder topping, reduce the amount of sriracha. For a spicier version, feel free to add more sriracha to taste.
Salt Tip: If you are serving with soy sauce, skip adding extra salt to the filling. For other sauces, a pinch of salt may be added to taste.
