Tips

  • Moisten the rice paper generously with a spray bottle to allow more time for folding multiple dumplings at once.
  • Ensure the filling mixture isn't too wet to prevent the dumplings from becoming soggy.
  • Cook over low-medium heat to prevent burning and bursting.
  • Microwave a small spoonful of the filling before using to taste and adjust seasoning.
