Ingredients
Scale
1 lb Ground Pork
2 cups Green Cabbage, finely shredded
1 cup Carrots, grated
1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, grated
3 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (low sodium)
1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
1/4 cup Green Onions, sliced
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
12–15 sheets Rice Paper Wrappers (8.5 inch diameter)
1/2 cup Vegetable Oil (or more as needed)
1/4 cup Soy Sauce (for dipping sauce)
2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar (for dipping sauce)
1 teaspoon Sesame Oil (for dipping sauce)
1 teaspoon Honey or Maple Syrup (for dipping sauce)
1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional, for dipping sauce)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground pork, breaking it apart and cooking until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes
- Add grated ginger and minced garlic to the cooked pork. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in shredded cabbage and grated carrots, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes
- Pour in soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Mix thoroughly and season with black pepper. Remove from heat and stir in green onions. Allow to cool slightly
- Set up a wrapping station with warm water, rice paper wrappers, the cooled filling, and a clean surface
- Soak one rice paper wrapper in warm water for 15-20 seconds and lay it flat on the surface
- Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom edge of the wrapper, fold the bottom over, then the sides, and roll tightly to seal
- Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully fry the dumplings for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy
- Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce
Notes
Make sure not to overcrowd the pan while frying to retain crispiness.
You can prepare the filling a few days in advance to save time.
