Vietnam's rice-paper makers roll with the tradition that homemade is better

Can Tho, Vietnam

STUFFED, rolled, baked or fried: rice paper rules in food-obsessed Vietnam, where diners have spurned factory-made versions for homespun ones, propping up a thriving cottage industry in the Mekong Delta.

They are a staple on dinner tables from north to south, eaten fresh with fish, fried with pork, or baked on an open flame and eaten like crackers - a popular bar snack.
