Servings 10 pieces
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

For the filling

  • 4 ounces glass noodles
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 large carrot, shredded
  • 1 ½ cups cabbage, sliced
  • 1 cup snow peas, sliced
  • 1 cup beech mushrooms
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • Pinch of white pepper

For the rice paper dumplings

  • 10 sheets rice paper
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons cooking oil

Instructions

  • To rehydrate the glass noodles, in a bowl, add the glass noodles and pour in hot water. Soak for about 2 minutes until slightly softened, then drain and cut into shorter segments.
  • To make the filling, in a pan over high heat, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Stir-fry the carrot, cabbage, snow peas, and beech mushrooms for about 2 minutes until slightly softened. Add the garlic and stir-fry for another 10 seconds until aromatic. Add the glass noodles, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and white pepper, then stir-fry until evenly combined. Remove from the heat and let the filling cool completely.
  • To prepare the rice paper, in a bowl, crack the egg and whisk until smooth. Place a sheet of rice paper on a flat surface and lightly brush both sides with the egg until softened. Let it sit for a few seconds until pliable.
  • To assemble the dumplings, place a portion of filling near the bottom center of the rice paper. Roll into a log shape, then twist the ends to create a spiral shape. Repeat with the remaining filling and rice paper.
  • To pan-fry the dumplings, in a pan over medium heat, add the cooking oil. Once hot, place the dumplings in a single layer and pan-fry for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, turning as needed.

Notes

• Don’t over-soften the rice paper: The rice paper continues softening after brushing with egg, so using too much can make the wrappers tear more easily.
• Cool the filling completely: Warm filling creates steam, which can soften the wrappers and prevent crisping.
• Glass noodles help absorb moisture: This helps the dumplings stay crispy longer after frying.
• Use medium heat: Medium heat gives the wrappers enough time to crisp properly without burning too quickly.
• Avoid overcrowding the pan: Too many dumplings at once can trap steam and reduce crispiness.
• Air-fry option: Lightly brush the dumplings with cooking oil and air-fry at 375°F for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Protein option: This recipe also works well with tofu, shrimp, chicken, or pork.
