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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Lay the softened wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of the wrapper.
  4. 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.
  5. Serve the dumplings fresh, garnished with fresh herbs, and with your choice of dipping sauce.
