Step-by-Step Instructions for Crisp Rice Paper Dumplings
- Begin by thinly slicing all your vegetables: onion, garlic, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and cabbage.
- In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic, Chinese 5 spice, and chili powder, cooking for another 2 minutes.
- Mix in the carrots, zucchini, and bell pepper along with the coconut aminos. Cook for approximately 10 minutes until all vegetables are tender.
- Add the cabbage and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Fill a shallow dish with cold water. Carefully submerge a rice paper sheet for 1-2 minutes until pliable.
- Lay the softened rice paper on a damp work surface. Spoon the sautéed vegetable mixture into the center and fold over the filling.
- Roll tightly and repeat with remaining filling and rice paper sheets.
- For air frying, preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Lightly brush the basket with oil and arrange dumplings in a single layer.
- Brush tops with oil and air fry for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- For pan-frying, heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a skillet. Fry dumplings for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, and rice vinegar, stirring well. Add water gradually to reach desired consistency.
