These Rice Paper Dumplings are having their glory moment right now on social media. With it being a scrumptious dish that’s also gluten-free, I can definitely see why!

Rice Paper Dumplings Recipe

As opposed to the traditional dumplings that’s wrapped with flour-based dough, you substitute the wrapper with rice paper. And once you pan fry the dumplings, it gives you that delicious crispy bite.

The filling I’m sharing with you is super simple to prepare but gives you a savory and deeply flavorful dish. The best part about dumplings is that you can play around with the fillings and experiment with different ones if you’d like! Mix any choice of veggies and/or protein to make your desired combo.

Ingredients You’ll Need

(For full ingredient measurements, please proceed to the recipe card below.)

  • Rice paper
  • Ground beef
  • Aromatics: Garlic, cilantro, green onion & ginger
  • Light soy sauce
  • Rice vinegar
  • Sugar

  • Carrots
  • Dipping Sauce: Chili oil, light soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, green onions (optional) & sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Filling

  1. Mix all the ingredients for the filling except for carrots. Set aside for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a pan over medium heat, add 2 tbsp of neutral oil and sauté carrots for 2 minutes before adding the seasoned filling.
  3. Stir occasionally until fully cooked.

Folding

  1. Once the cooked filling has cooled down, soak rice paper in warm water for 5-10 seconds.
  2. Place 2.5 tbsp of the filling at the center of the rice paper.
  3. Fold the top part towards the middle. Then fold the right side inwards followed by the left. Then fold over the whole thing over the bottom part.
  4. Repeat the process with another layer of rice paper wrapping the already wrapped dumpling.

Pan Fry

  1. In a pan over medium heat, heat up neutral oil. Use enough oil to coat the pan.
  2. Once it’s hot enough, add the rice paper dumplings folded side down.
  3. Optional step: Gently press down the dumplings with a spatula for even cooking.
  4. Shallow fry until it’s golden brown on each side.

Dipping Sauce

  1. Mix all the ingredients and serve with dumplings. Enjoy!

Notes for Rice Paper Dumplings

  • Soak Rice Paper – Soak them in warm water for about 5 seconds, or until it’s slightly softened, before starting the wrapping process. It will still continue the softening process after you take it out of the water. So try not to soak them for too long as the wrapper might break during assembling process or when pan frying.
  • Double sheets – Use 2 sheets of rice paper to make each dumpling so that it holds the filling better and won’t break. Crispy too!
  • Dipping sauce – You can make a simple dipping sauce with soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar and a bit of chili oil. Or if you’re a chili oil fiend like me, then heap on extra spoons of that chili oil.

For dumpling lovers, here’s a recipe for Chili Oil Dumplings that you have to try!

The sauce is just sweet soy sauce (kicap/kecap manis), light soy sauce and water!

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
