Ingredients Dumplings

rice paper
box of tofu firm
6 perilla leaves
4 cloves garlic
scallions
1/4 cabbage
1 pack enoki mushrooms
2 tbsp soy sauce (to taste)
drizzle of sesame oil
pepper
msg

Sauce

1 tsp Zhong Sauce

Instructions

Prep ingredients:

Mince garlic.
Cut the stems off the perilla leaves, roll, and cut into small pieces.
Cut off the ends of enoki mushrooms.
Cut scallions.
Thinly slice 1/4 of a whole cabbage.
Press the tofu and break it up.

Add the prepped ingredients to a pan on medium heat to draw out all the moisture. Season with soy sauce to taste, sesame oil, pepper, and msg.

Start folding:

Soak rice paper
Add filling to the paper and fold one end, fold the sides inwards, and fold all the way to the end.
Repeat with another soaked rice paper to seal it, to ensure that the filling doesn’t come out while frying.

Pan fry dumplings on both sides until crispy and slightly brown.

For the dipping sauce, combine, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, scallions, and Zhong Sauce. Enjoy!
