Description
This recipe makes crispy vegetarian dumplings using rice paper wrappers.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tsp sriracha (optional)
- 12-15 sheets rice paper
- Cooking spray or oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add ginger and garlic, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add carrots, cabbage, and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Stir in green onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using). Cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet into the water for 15-20 seconds until pliable.
- Lay the softened rice paper on a clean surface. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling in the center.
- Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly from the bottom to the top to form a dumpling. Repeat with remaining rice paper and filling.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray or add a thin layer of oil.
- Place dumplings in the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Adjust sriracha to your spice preference.
- Ensure rice paper is softened but not overly wet to prevent tearing.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying to ensure even crisping.
