How to Make Rice-Paper Fish and Chips

The concept here is straightforward and significantly less messy than classic beer-battered fish and chips. All you have to do is whip up a seasoned egg wash, dip the rice paper until it becomes pliable, and wrap the soaked rice paper around pieces of fish. Then, a few minutes in the air fryer is all it takes to cook them. The fish can be served with homemade air-fryer french fries or frozen french fries.

Ingredients

• 4 cod fillets (about 1 pound total)
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 sheets rice paper
• Oil spray or nonstick cooking spray
• Homemade or frozen french fries
• Tartar sauce or malt vinegar, for dipping

Directions

Step 1: Make the egg wash

Trim the cod fillets into even pieces that will fit inside the rice paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper.

Step 2: Dip the rice paper

Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides. Dip one sheet of rice paper in the egg wash until it becomes soft and pliable. Place it on your work surface and wrap it around one of the pieces of fish. As you wrap, tuck in the sides like you would an egg roll or a burrito.

Step 3: Air-fry the fish

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Lightly spritz both sides of the wrapped fish with oil spray or a nonstick cooking spray. Air-fry the rice paper–wrapped fish for 12 minutes, then gently flip them and air-fry them for three minutes more. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the fish in batches.

Here’s What I Thought

I had no idea what to expect with this recipe because the rice paper becomes so gummy once it’s softened in the egg wash. But once the air fryer worked its magic, I was pleasantly surprised to peer into the basket and discover perfectly cooked fish with a crisp, golden coating. It looked similar to what I would expect from the classic preparation of the same dish.

My family loved it, and we found that it was perfect when accompanied by either a drizzle of malt vinegar or a dip into some tartar sauce. I absolutely plan on making this recipe again.

Marry Me Recipes FAQ

What makes Marry Me recipes so good?

The ingredient that makes Marry Me recipes so good is the cream. Most Marry Me recipes use a liberal amount of heavy whipping cream. As far as savory Marry Me recipes go, the sauce usually contains sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan, which make it more complex and decadent.

What sides pair well with Marry Me recipes?

Sides that pair well with savory Marry Me recipes are melting cabbage, melting or fondant potatoes, roasted asparagus, hot honey sweet potatoes, au gratin potatoes or Caesar smashed potatoes. Homemade garlic bread is also an indulgent (but easy!) option, and a vinegary side salad will cut some of the heavy richness.

For accompaniments to go with sweet Marry Me recipes, you can’t go wrong with homemade whipped cream, the best vanilla ice cream and after-dinner drinks like dessert wine.

How can you make Marry Me recipes vegetarian?

You can make Marry Me recipes vegetarian by warming precooked lentils, white beans or chickpeas in the classic cream-and-sundried-tomato-based sauce. Make the sauce recipe from our Marry Me chicken recipe. Right after you add the heavy cream, stir in your precooked beans or legumes. Allow everything to warm through, then add the spinach and Parmesan. If the sauce seems runny, thicken the sauce with a cornstarch slurry.

Some of these tricks help a little. Most don’t. But every so often, a method pops up that feels almost too simple to be true—but then it actually proves itself, egg after egg. That’s the case with an ages-old trick that’s recently resurfaced on social media: tapping the egg with a spoon before boiling it.

It’s not flashy, and it’s not exactly new. In fact, the trick is often credited to grandmothers who never needed viral validation. But it works—and once you try it, you’ll never peel eggs the same way again.

Why are hard-boiled eggs so hard to peel?

To understand why peeling can be such a nightmare, it helps to know what’s happening inside the shell.

Between the shell and the egg white is a thin membrane. When an egg is very fresh, that membrane clings tightly to the white, which is why peeling often takes half the egg with it. As eggs age, the membrane loosens slightly, making them easier to peel. In other words, freshness, in this case, actually works against you.

The cooking method plays a role, too. Rapid temperature changes, uneven cooking and overly aggressive boiling can all encourage the egg white to bond stubbornly to the shell. That’s how you end up with craters, gouges and hard-boiled eggs that look more like they’ve been hacksawed than peeled.

Why does tapping an egg before boiling it work?

This trick works because it loosens the egg’s membrane before heat locks it into place. It’s done by gently tapping the wider end of each raw egg with the back of a spoon to separate the membrane from the shell.

You’re not trying to crack the shell open—you’re listening for the moment the membrane snaps away. After a couple of taps, there’s a subtly different snapping sound. Instead of the sharp crack of a broken shell, you should hear a softer, duller crack that signals the membrane underneath has separated.

Once the membrane loosens, steam has somewhere to go during cooking. Instead of the egg white bonding stubbornly to the shell, it pulls away just enough to make peeling dramatically easier later on.

It’s a subtle step, but a powerful one—and it’s why this trick has stuck around for generations. Long before it showed up in reels and comment sections, home cooks were passing it along and making it a permanent part of their routines.

How to do it:

• Hold a raw egg upright, with the wider end facing up.
• Lightly tap the shell with the back of a spoon a few times until you hear a slightly snappier crack. This means the membrane has separated.
• Cook and cool your eggs as usual.
• Start peeling the eggs from the wider end for best results.
