- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
Other Ingredients
- 6 rice paper sheets
- 1 tablespoon oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Soften Rice Paper: Soak one rice paper sheet in warm water until pliable but not too soft to tear, about 10-15 seconds.
- Add Filling: Place a small amount of the prepared vegetable filling in the center of the softened rice paper.
- Fold Dumpling: Carefully fold the rice paper to enclose the filling, tucking in the sides tightly to form a dumpling shape.
- Repeat: Repeat the softening, filling, and folding process with the remaining rice paper sheets and filling.
- Heat Oil: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat to prepare for pan-frying.
- Pan-Fry Dumplings: Place the folded dumplings in the hot skillet and fry until both sides turn golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the dumplings warm, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce like soy sauce, chili oil, or sweet chili sauce.
Notes
- Add tofu or ground meat to the filling for extra protein.
- Serve with soy sauce, chili oil, or sweet chili sauce as dipping options.
- Be gentle when soaking rice paper sheets to prevent tearing.
