Ingredients
Scale
- 8 rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1 cup carrots, shredded
- 1 cup cucumbers, julienned
- ½ cup fresh mint, chopped
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup firm tofu, cubed (or shrimp)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
- 2 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by clearing the counter and gathering all ingredients. Have a clean damp cloth ready.
- In a large bowl, combine bell peppers, carrots, cucumbers, mint, cilantro, tofu (or shrimp), soy sauce, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.
- Soak one rice paper wrapper in warm water until pliable (about 10 seconds). Remove and lay flat on a clean surface.
- Place about two tablespoons of filling on the lower third of the wrapper. Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.
- Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- For steamed dumplings, place in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper for 5-7 minutes until heated through. Serve fresh with dipping sauce if preferred.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for maximum flavor and texture.
- Avoid overstuffing to prevent bursting during cooking.
- Experiment with different fillings or dipping sauces based on personal preferences.
