Crispy Rice Paper Dumplings

If you're ever wondering... "What else can I make with rice paper??" Make these crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside shrimp dumplings! In my honest opinion, these taste better than regular dumplings.

Instructions:

1. Mix together shrimp, green onions, cauliflower, black pepper, ginger powder, corn starch, sesame oil, and oyster sauce in the food processor

2. Cut rice papers in half and lay them on a wet cutting board

3. Wet the rice paper with by dipping an oil brush in a cup of water and brush the water all over the rice paper

4. Scoop a tablespoon-sized filling into the center of the rice paper

5. Fold the long sides towards the center, then close off by bringing the two sides into the center (once the dumplings are formed, you want to move them fairly quickly to the frying pan or they’ll start sticking to the cutting board

6. Heat up a pan with neutral oil

7. Fry each dumpling on both sides, making sure they’re not touching each other

8. Once each side is lightly browned, the dumplings are cooked!

9. Served with or without the sauce (dumplings by itself is savory enough for my kids, but I like a little kick!)
