Directions
- Prepare the filling:– Finely shred the cabbage and carrots. Dice mushrooms into small cubes. Mince garlic and ginger. Crumble the tofu into small pieces.
- Cook the filling:– Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the mushrooms, cabbage, carrots, tofu, garlic, and ginger until vegetables soften, about 5-7 minutes.– Season with salt, pepper, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Stir in spring onions, then remove from heat and let cool.
- Wrap the dumplings:– Dip a rice paper sheet in water for a few seconds and lay it on the damp surface.– Place a spoonful of filling in the center and shape into a small rectangle.– Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, then fold the top and sides, creating a pocket.– Dip a second sheet in water and double wrap the dumpling using the same method.
- Repeat the process:– Continue wrapping until all the filling is used.
- Pan-fry the dumplings:– Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the dumplings for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy.
- Serve:– Enjoy hot with sweet and sour sauce or a soy-vinegar dipping sauce!
