Rice Paper Rolls
- 8 sheets rice paper sheets any good quality brand, I have used small diameter sheet.
- 2 teaspoon olive oil coat the prepared rice paper rolls with oil
- 1 cup water for soaking the rice sheet
Instructions
- Gather the vegetables of the season. Wash, dry, peel and chop as you desire. In a large bowl, add the chopped vegetables - cucumber, carrot, lettuce, onion, green bean and mix with salt and pepper. You may saute the veggies in a pan on stove top. Remember, the veggies would leave some moisture and that's the reason we need not soak the rice paper longer in water.While you prep, pre heat Air Fryer at 190 ℃ for about 8 min.
- In a large bowl filled with water, soak the rice paper sheet for just 2 seconds and place it on rolling pin or any firm surface. Make sure to wet the surface. Place the toppings in the lower third middle of the rice paper as shown.Fold it sideways first and then fold from top to wrap it completely.
- You may roll all the rice paper sheets into stuffed dumplings and carefully place them in a large plate. They may become tender and sticky. You may coat them gently with olive oil and brush air fryer basket with oil as well.Place the oil-coated rice paper dumplings in the air fryer basket and air fry them at 190 ℃ for about 10 min or till browned. Shake the basket mid way for uniform cooking.
- Serve the Crispy Air Fryer Vegan Rice Paper Dumplings with soy sauce or sauce of your choice.
Notes
- Rice paper sheets are very fragile to work with. If not soaked in water properly, they turned out brittle. If soaked for longer, they would become soggy and tear off.
- The best approach is to use normal water (not warm water, unless you are having peak winters). Dip the rice paper sheet in a bowl filled with water for just 2-3 sec and place it on a rolling pin or a flat surface that is a bit wet. When you start placing filings, you would start feeling the softness of the rice paper and how easily it can fold up the way you want.
- When wrapping the dumplings, start by folding the sides in first, then roll from the bottom up, similar to rolling a burrito. Ensure the edges are sealed tightly to prevent filling from falling out during cooking.
- You may brush the rolled rice paper dumplings with olive oil for crispy exterior.
- You don't need to flip the rice dumplings but mat shake the air fryer basket half way through.
