Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup rice paper
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (for dipping)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, cilantro, tofu, mushrooms, garlic, ginger, and lime juice.

    Adjust seasoning to taste before wrapping.
  2. Soak Rice Paper

    Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip a rice paper sheet into the water for about 10 seconds until it softens.

    Don't soak too long to avoid tearing.
  3. Assemble the Parcels

    Place a spoonful of filling at the bottom of the rice paper. Fold the sides in and roll tightly.

    Ensure the filling is not overstuffed.
  4. Cook the Parcels

    Heat sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the parcels and cook until golden brown on all sides.

    Turn carefully to avoid breaking.
  5. Serve

    Serve hot with soy sauce for dipping.

    Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
