Crispy Rice Paper Dumplings

Ingredients

• 350 g shrimp (chopped or minced for the filling)
• 6 rice paper (circular sheets)
• 1 manojo green onions (finely chopped)
• 1 garlic (clove, minced)
• 5 g ginger (fresh, grated or minced)
• salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce

Steps

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, mix the chopped shrimp, green onions, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, and soy sauce until well combined.

2. 2

   Prepare a workstation with a plate of warm water. Quickly dip a rice paper sheet into the water to moisten it and place it on a flat surface.

3. 3

   Spread a portion of the shrimp mixture over the damp rice paper sheet.

4. 4

   Moisten a second rice paper sheet and place it directly on top of the filling and the first sheet, creating a sort of sandwich.

5. 5

   Cut the filled rice paper circle into 4 equal parts (quadrants).

6. 6

   Wrap each section individually, folding the edges of the rice paper around the shrimp filling to seal the dumpling. Repeat the process with the remaining sheets.

7. 7

   Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

8. 8

   Place the dumplings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch so they become crispy.

9. 9

   Cook in the air fryer for 8 minutes at 400°F (200°C) until the rice paper is puffed and crispy.
