  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup cooked minced chicken or tofu

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, green onions, chicken or tofu, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well.
  2. Dip one rice paper wrapper briefly in warm water to soften, then lay flat on a clean surface.
  3. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near one edge of the wrapper.
  4. Brush the edges with the cornstarch slurry to help seal.
  5. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly to form a dumpling shape.
  6. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  7. Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  8. Fry dumplings in batches until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  9. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with chili sauce if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle dumplings with toasted sesame seeds before frying or serve with a tangy dipping sauce like sweet chili or soy-vinegar.
