Recipe: Rice paper dumplings
Ingredients:
20 rice paper wrappers
1/4 of a Chinese cabbage, finely chopped
1 carrot, grated
300g soft tofu
2cm piece ginger, grated
1-2 cloves garlic, grated
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
Oil, for frying (I used avocado oil)
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, place chopped cabbage, carrot, ginger, garlic and crumbled tofu. Stir thoroughly, add in soy sauce and sesame oil, then stir again.
Heat oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat. Sautee the mixture for a few minutes and set aside.
Soak rice paper wrapper in lukewarm water for just a few seconds until soft (make sure you don’t oversoften them otherwise they will fall apart). Place a few spoonfuls of mixture in the center of the round, then fold over the left side, right side, top and bottom. Wrap the dumpling in another ricepaper round, using the same folding technique. Repeat until all of the tofu filling has been used.
Heat oil in a frypan over medium-high heat. Cook dumplings for a few mins each side or until golden and crunchy. Serve with soy sauce. Inspired by @okonomikitchen.
