Description
A fresh and easy recipe for rice paper dumplings filled with shredded vegetables and your choice of protein.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded vegetables (carrots, cabbage, bell peppers)
- 1 cup cooked protein (chicken, shrimp, or tofu)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 12 rice paper wrappers
- Fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, or basil) for garnish
- Dipping sauce (soy sauce or peanut sauce)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded vegetables, cooked protein, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds, or until it becomes soft and pliable.
- Lay the softened wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Serve the dumplings fresh, garnished with fresh herbs, and with your choice of dipping sauce.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or chili flakes to the filling mixture.
- Experiment with different fillings such as mushrooms, zucchini, or cooked quinoa for a unique flavor.
