Directions
1. Prepare the Filling
Finely shred the cabbage and carrots. Chop mushrooms into small cubes. Mince the garlic and ginger. Crumble the tofu into small pieces.
2. Cook the Filling
In a large pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms, cabbage, carrots, tofu, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Season with salt, pepper, soy sauce, and vinegar. Stir in the spring onions and remove from heat. Let the filling cool.
3. Wrap the Dumplings
Dip a rice paper sheet in water for a few seconds and place it on a damp surface. Put a spoonful of filling in the center and shape it into a small rectangle. Fold the bottom of the paper over the filling, then fold in the top and sides to make a pocket. Dip a second rice paper sheet in water and repeat the process to double-wrap each dumpling for extra crispiness.
4. Repeat the Process
Continue wrapping until all the filling is used.
5. Pan-Fry the Dumplings
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the dumplings for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve
Serve hot with sweet and sour sauce or soy-vinegar dipping sauce.
