Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 450g firm tofu
  • 3 Spring onions finely chopped
  • 1 medium carrot finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • Handful coriander finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds dry toasted in a pan
  • 14 rice papers
  • Chilli oil to serve

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and add the chopped onions, pepper, carrot and garlic.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes, them crumble in the tofu (or you can blend it up into a ground meat consistency in a food processor). Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes.
  • In a bowl, mix together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha and maple syrup. Mix and pour into the pan. 
  • Fold in the chopped coriander and toasted sesame seeds and continue cooking for a further 2 minutes. Take off the heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • In the mean time dip a rice paper into a large bowl of cold water for 3-5 seconds - just until it’s soft enough to work with. 
  • Place onto a dampened chopping board (so it doesn't stick) and add 2 tablespoons of the filling in the centre.
  • Fold the in the left side all the way over the filling. Then work either clockwise or anti-clockwise to fold in all the sides. (I like to single wrap my dumplings, but you can double wrap with another rice paper if you find yours is ripping). 
  • Heat 1/2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan and start frying your dumplings on a medium heat. You only need to fry them for 1-2 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown. 
  • Serve with an optional crispy chilli dip
