Delicious homemade dumplings filled with chicken, shrimp, and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 8 oz shrimp, diced small
- 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrot
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 12 to 15 rice paper wrappers
- Oil for frying (enough for 1 to 2 inches in the pan)
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for dipping)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Mix together the shrimp, chicken, garlic, ginger, red cabbage, carrots, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg, cilantro, and green onion.
- Mix all sauce ingredients together and set aside.
- Make a dipping station with a tray of water, along with a wet chopping board or damp clean tea towel to wrap the rice paper dumplings on.
- Dip a rice paper sheet in water for a few seconds and place on the damp surface.
- Cut each wrapper in half. Add 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the centre of the sheet. Starting at the bottom, fold over the rice paper sheet to cover the filling. Then fold the sides of the sheet over the filling, then roll along the whole paper to create a rectangle package.
- Heat a large skillet with about 1-2 inches of oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- Ensure not to overstuff the rice paper wrappers to prevent tearing.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference.
