Ingredients
Scale
- 10 rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup finely chopped green cabbage
- 1/2 cup grated carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped shiitake mushrooms
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare your workstation and gather all ingredients.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add vegetable oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
- Add chopped cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms; stir-fry until tender (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil; mix well and remove from heat.
- Dip one rice paper wrapper into warm water for about 15-20 seconds until softened.
- Place the wrapper on a clean surface, spoon filling into the center, fold sides over, and roll tightly.
- Heat additional vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry dumplings until golden brown on each side (about 3-4 minutes). Alternatively, steam for a healthier option.
- Serve hot with dipping sauces like sweet chili or soy sauce mixed with lime juice.
Notes
- For added protein, consider incorporating tofu or shrimp into the filling.
- Ensure wrappers are damp but not overly wet to avoid tearing during assembly.
