Recipe for rice paper dumplings

Set these out for the kids during game night and they were eaten in 5 minutes

Ingredients:

1 pound ground meat of your choice (beef, pork, chicken or turkey)

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 carrot, grated

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (extra for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

12 -16 rice paper wrappers

Warm water for rice paper

1 tablespoon vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

Start with a clean workspace and a happy heart. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, onions, garlic, carrots and parsley. Season generously with salt and pepper, then stir in soy sauce and sesame oil until well combined.

Soften a rice paper wrapper in warm water until pliable, about 10-15 seconds. Lay it flat and place a portion of the meat mixture in the center.Fold the wrapper and roll it tightly around the filling.

Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the dough balls until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and with side dishes of your choice.

Variations and tips:

Feel free to experiment with additional fillings such as diced mushrooms or peppers for more flavor.For a lighter option, steam the meatballs instead of frying them for tender bites without added oil.

Discover different dipping sauces and find your perfect combination, from sweet and sour to a simple soy sauce mixture.
