This Rice Paper Dumpling recipe is quick, easy and made with simple ingredients. They're crispy on the outside and stuffed with a flavourful filling of tofu and vegetables. Vegan + gluten free.
After testing several rounds of my vegan chicken drumsticks and vegan shrimp recipe that call for rice paper, I had a ton left over. We made fresh summer rolls stuffed with vermicelli, tofu and vegetables but wanted to switch it up one night and decided to try pan frying them instead.
To be honest, the first time pan fried them it didn't work. The wrapper broke... so I threw it all into a bowl and served it for dinner anyways. Despite the messy look, it was SO GOOD. Think... deconstructed dumplings. Delicious dumping filling with bites of crispy yet chewy rice paper (kinda like noodles?). While I didn't mind eating it straight out of the bowl like that, I decided to try again but this time wrapping it twice so it holds better... and it worked!! Beautifully golden crispy on the outside while not breaking apart. The best part? These dumplings literally take me less than 20 minutes to make which is pretty quick for dumplings. Let's make them, shall we?

Ingredients for Rice Paper Dumplings
- Rice paper
- Tofu: medium firm, firm or extra firm all work for this recipe. Just be sure to cook off or press out the excess liquid.
- Vegetables: The recipe for the filling is my go-to, simple filling I typically use for vegan gyoza. It has carrots and cabbage but you can use any (un-juicy) vegetables of your choice.
- Sesame oil
- Soy sauce: or tamari for gluten free.
- Garlic
- Ginger
This recipe is really customizable though, so feel free to experiment with the aromatics, spices, sauces and vegetables! If you're not vegan, you can also change up the protein as well.

The Directions
- Make the filling: add the shredded vegetables, tofu, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and pepper to a bowl. Use your hands to mash the mixture together until well combined.
- Soak the rice paper: Fill a shallow dish with warm water and wet the rice papers for 3 seconds or until slightly softened (they will continue to soften after taking it out of the water), and then place it onto your working surface.
- Wrap: Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling into the middle of the rice paper. Fold the top of the rice paper down, fold the left side over to the right, the right side over to the left and then bring the bottom portion of the rice paper up to seal. Repeat one more time for a double layer to ensure it does not break when cooking. TIP: place the first wrapped dumpling folded side down so that the thickness of the wrapper is the same on both sides.
- Cook: Heat a pan over medium heat. Add enough oil to coat the pan. Place the dumpling in the pan and cook until golden brown (you can cover the pan if you wish). Flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Remove from pan and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks for Making Rice Paper Dumplings
- Do not over soak: Dip the rice paper in water for about 5 seconds. They continue to soften out of the water. Over soaking the rice papers will cause them to break when pan frying them and cause them to be soggy.
- Soak rice paper in cold water: Warm or hot water causes them to get too soft and tear.
- Use a wooden cutting board to wrap: When wrapping, I find it easier to do it on a wooden cutting board because they do tend to stick on glass and plastic, causing them to tear.
- Use two rice papers to wrap one dumpling: Especially if you are new to using rice paper or it's your first time making them, this prevents them from tearing when cooking.
- Second layer: When wrapping the second layer, keep the folded side down so that the thickness of the skin it same on both sides.
- Cover dumplings with a slightly damp lint-free towel or paper towel: this prevents the dumplings from drying before cooking.
- Brush and cook with oil: Ensure to either brush the dumplings with oil or add oil to the pan. The most common cause of the dumplings tearing is because they stick to the pan.
- Use a non-stick skillet: This makes them easier to flip and cook without tears because they won't stick to the pan.
- Don't over-crowd the pan: Rice papers tend to 'stick' when they touch each other so when pan frying, do not let the edges of the dumplings touch one another or they may cause tearing. Brushing them with oil also helps with this.
- Serve & eat them immediately! These rice paper dumplings don't stay crispy for a long time so they are truly best consumed as soon as they're done cooking.
Recipe FAQ
- Can you air fry these rice paper dumplings? Yes! Once you wrap them all up, spray with a little oil and then air fry at 375 F (190 C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping half way.
- Can you bake rice paper dumplings? While I haven't tried baking them myself, I have had feed back that you can bake them by brushing them with oil and then cooking them in the oven at 375 F (190 C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping half way.
- Do you soak the rice paper in cold or hot water? Dip the rice papers in cold water for a few seconds. Warm or hot water makes the rice papers too soft and causes tearing.
- Can you make them ahead? You can prepare the fillings ahead of time but you must wrap them before serving.
- Can you freeze rice paper dumplings? No. The rice papers do not freeze well and the texture really changes when defrosted.
These rice paper dumplings have been on REPEAT. It's perfect for using up left over ingredients in the fridge and I love that it comes out slightly different each time for some variation.
Plus, if you've been looking for gluten free dumpling wrappers these are a great option. Rice papers are inexpensive and can be found at just about any grocery store.
I haven't tried baking or air frying them, but if you do please share how it goes in the comment section below! I think if you spray and brush them with a little oil they will crisp up pretty nicely 😉

I subbed in ground turkey for tofu and I massaged the cabbage with a little salt to get out excess water before I added it to the filling mixture. These were so easy and delicious! Definitely reminds me of my mom's gyoza, but it's delightfully gluten-free!

I made this! I typically make Puerto Rican food so this different the rice paper wrapping was the hardest and they came out like big vegan egg rolls lol it’s great I would just season the filling more and make sure to form small and flat dumplings to evenly cook. it was really tasty and my bf liked it , I’ll try wrapping the dumplings again!

Danielle says
I made this twice already since I saw it a couple days ago! I ran out of rice paper or I think I would have made it again lol. I didn’t have silken tofu at the time of making so I just crumbled the block of firm that I had and mixed it in and also made a spicy peanut dipping sauce. Thanks for the recipe it was so easy I’ll be making this many times over

Xtine says
So easy and so delicious. I always have rice wrappers in my pantry because I love summer rolls and make them a lot but this was an application that i never thought of. Thank you for the inspiration! I changed it the filling based on what i had on hand (too lazy to go to the store lol). My filling was a vegan pork flavored mince, finely chopped baby bok choy, carrot, and pa kimchi. Next time I want to try just 1 paper as mine came out with an inner layer that was a little on the chewy side and i like the crispy more.
Also, i froze the leftover dumplings because I think they'll come back nicely in the oven or air fryer and i just couldn't eat 15 by myself!
★★★★★
Bernadette says
Such a great way to use up rice paper! I didn't have all the exact ingredients - I substituted cabbage with sauerkraut, making it more similar to a kimchi dumpling, added cilantro, and sesame oil/toasted sesame seeds to the filling. Would also be good to add chopped shiitake or woodear mushrooms and I'd probably try this with chopped water chestnuts or peanuts for texture. So quick and easy to make, I'll be adding this to my recipe rotation for when I want dumplings.

Such an easy swap... AND this recipe was delicious. Thank you Lisa! 🙃
Tomoko Miyata says
This is my first time trying her recipe. As a gyoza lover, I had to try it!! As I put too much into a rice paper it came out to be ugly but tasted amazing!!!

This is so brilliant!! I made it using your recipe with slight variations (didn’t have cabbage so I used riced cauli and added a few drops of hoisin) and they were soooo yummy and perfect for a weeknight dinner while still feeling special!

Can you please clarify the amount of tofu needed? the recipe says 1/2 block (80g). The blocks of tofu in my store are 454 grams which is way over the 80 g you have listed in the recipe. So do I use 1/2 a block which is 200 g or 80 g? Thanks.
Lisa Kitahara says
Hi Jill, it is 80g
Devon says
I will 100% be making these again! So tasty without being too heavy like dumplings can sometimes be. Plus, it was so nice to get the flavour and knowing exactly what is going into the recipe (no extras like potential MSG). I always have rice paper on hand for fresh spring rolls, so I am very excited to have another use for them. The only thing I did that the recipe didn’t include was the addition of a finely chopped portobello mushroom, but otherwise I followed it exactly and it was perfect!
★★★★★

MSG is safe to consume and provides delicious umami flavor. I encourage you (and anyone else seeing this comment) to learn more about the history of MSG and xenophobia.

Made this one - what an easy and filling recipe . Served it with peanut sauce. yummy!!
There gotta be a way to make the inner layer a little less chewy, a single wrap perhaps ..
Beth says
Tasty and super easy to make! I appreciate the creative use of rice paper. (It’s nice to make something other than spring rolls with them.) The filling reminds me of what I use when making egg rolls. The ingredients are things I often have on hand and it was simple to throw together. Low effort, great flavor!

Delicious recipe!! Even I’m not a vegetarian, I am obsess about it!! Always have so many left over rice paper and never finish it, very good ideas to use it!! I love how crispy the rice paper is and how soft and delicate texture inside ❤️❤️❤️
★★★★★
Millie says
Great, easy recipe. I totally forgot to wrap my dumplings twice though and they split but the filling was delicious and the combo of crunchy and chewy rice paper made it fun to eat and not too heavy. I'm thinking I'll add more spring onion next time and will definitely double wrap, I love how versatile this recipe is. The fillings are a guideline but you can really fill it with whatever you have at hand (though this tofu one was bomb). The wrapping stage makes this a fun group activity ❤️
★★★★★
Taliah says
Loved this recipe!! All I had was firm tofu (that hadn’t been pressed) but it still worked great! I also used brown rice paper, which worked very well. Non-vegan family loved it and someone even said it tastes like chicken :)) one point for the vegans! Will definitely be making these again.
★★★★★
Vanessa says

Chin says
WOW—my boyfriend and I are not vegan or gluten-free, but we both loved these!
To be honest, I'm always a little skeptical of very pretty-looking cooking TikTok videos, but this recipe is actually great and very easy to follow. We recently moved to an area with very few Asians, so when I saw the local grocery store had Vietnamese rice papers, I was so excited to try making these dumplings. I only had firm tofu, and used round red radishes instead of carrots, and spinach instead of cabbage, but followed the rest of the instructions. My wrapping skills are not as nice as Lisa's so before pan-frying them, my dumplings looked kind of sad but then they came together really nicely in the pan!
This is totally going to become a regular rotation in our house. I don't have the patience to make my own dumpling wrapper, and I love that Vietnamese rice papers are a dry non-perishable shelf item instead of the refrigerated store-bought ones. Highly recommend!
★★★★★
Naomi says
An amazing recipe! So fast and easy when craving dumplings. I salted the veggies and let them sit for a bit so I could squeeze out the excess moisture before adding the tofu and seasoning to give everything a little more bite. A stellar recipe that I’m adding to my weekly dinners!

To fry, I brushed with oil and cooked in a non-stick pan - worked great!! Also was lazy and just ran everything through a food processor to chop instead of actually chopping lol. Thanks for another amazing recipe, Lisa <3
★★★★★
Julia says
I LOVED THIS SOO MUCH
I did this three ways: in a steamed bao bun, in a toasted bao bun and using the rice papers. All three were a hit ! Of course the rice paper version is the easiest and tastiest but the buns give it a nice texture.
This is the first savory recipe that impressed me in a LOOOONG time. This will definitely be something I'd have almost every week 😋
★★★★★
Sandy Flann says
These dumplings were easy to make and the rice paper wasn't too fiddly, I think I made my filling too wet so the rice paper didn't get too crispy but the flavour was amazing. We are not vegan but trying to increase the repertoire of foods we eat and this recipe will be done again. It got a big thumbs up from the kids too!
★★★★★
Sarah (Vegan Recipes & Vibes) says
I’m always looking for new ways to use my massive stack of rice paper wrappers, so this recipe is perfect! I used slightly different veggies in the filling (tofu, zucchini, carrot, onion) since it’s all I had in the fridge. They turned out SO GOOD!!! Very easy and fun to make, and quick to pan fry (I didn’t use oil and they turned out great). Crispy on the outside, slightly chewy on the inside, very flavorful and different. I will be making these often!
Tip: blot the wet rice paper wrappers with a towel before filling to prevent them from being too wet.

I’ve been juicing quite a bit and save the pulp in the freezer. This is a great way to use up the pulp. I cooked the filling to ensure things were not juicy and made these right before class. A snack that left me full past dinner. Your tip for wrapping was essential to avoid frustration, thanks for your trial and error! These are going to be a regular meal in our home. Thank you so much!

Amazing amazing recipe! We love making dumplings and we often make different fillings depending on the veggies we have at home.

Such a great easy recipe! I’m always looking for recipes that I can tweak to a gluten free option and this one was basically done for me☺️ Just subbed some Yamato and added a few other veggies for crunch. Awesome!

Please, try this recipe. This was honestly the best thing I’ve made in a while. I’ve been in a recipe rut for a bit but I saw this and I knew my tummy would end up happy. I’ve made soup dumplings with rice paper before but never thought to make actual filled dumplings! I have PKU and I can’t have a lot of protein and this recipe was really easy to swap out ingredients and replace it with things I could have. So, if you have any nutritional needs I definitely think that this is an easy recipe to make work for you. I made this for my meal prep this week and literally, just now, finished the last of it. I’m so sad but so happy that I had such a good dinner for the past three days. Please, give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing! I used this recipe for my Food Tech class. Instead of cabbage, which I didn't have, I used grated parsnip and it still tasted just as good! My family is mostly vegan, the only thing we eat non-vegan being free of cruelty eggs, and everyone loved them! The first two that I cooked didn't go so well, but that was my fault as I had the heat up too high, because of this, I accidentally melted the spatula I was using lmao, but started again and they turned out amazing. For the dipping sauce I mixed the soy sauce and rice vinegar together, and added a hint of maple syrup to make it the slightest bit sweeter and it was a great taste. (I didn't have any Rayu Chili Oil, so I used sesame oil)
Thank you lovely Lisa for the recipe x

I now make sure I always have rice paper on hand. I made this twice in a row.

So easy to make, filling and really tasty! I added some gochujang in the dipping sauce for more spice hihi!

Falisha says
This is the first time I made anything vegan and OH MY GOD. It was SOOO GOOOOOOD! Super flavourful. While I was mixing the filling ingredients in the bowl I asked my husband to have a smell of how yummy it was and he couldn’t stop smelling it. It’s fresh, easy and healthy. Definitely going to be a regular on my list of meals for meal planning fast dinners.

Elle Gerard says
This recipe is delicious! However, my dumplings never get nice and crispy brown. What oil is best to use? I just use vegetable oil, but is there a better one to use? Also, how long does it take for each side to brown? Any suggestions to help me improve my dumplings would be so appreciated!
★★★★★
Debbie Ainsworth says
Hi I made these last nite. Tho it took me longer to make than your times 🙃 they were sooo good. I have a few questions tho. What kind of oil did you use for frying? I used EVOO and I covered the pan but the my were very greasy. I had to put on paper towels (which of course didn’t turn out well 🙄). I cant wait to make them again and perfect them!!! I’ll post pic on Insta!!

Tatum Harris says
This recipe has changed my lunch game. I fry up the ingredients before wrapping them in rice paper but that’s just because I love the taste of fried tofu. I kept leftover mix for two days in an airtight container and made multiple batches with it! So thankful for such an easy, healthy and tasty vegan recipe, you’ve got to try it!
★★★★★
nathalie says
hi! these look amazing! are they freezer friendly? i’d love to make a bigger batch of them at once. if so, would it be best to freeze before or after pan frying?

Easy and quick!! I hadn't tofu so I tried without it, and I cooked a little bit the filling. Next time I'll try the original recipe! Soo good!

Oh my goodness was this recipe everything I ever wanted! This rice paper chewiness is so satisfying and also very simple to make for someone who might have difficulty making dumplings.

Thanks for another great recipe!

Don Gibbons says
After seeing this recipe pop up all over social media, I had to give it a try because i was craving dim sum or some iteration of it & THIS WAS IT!!
The recipe was super easy & quick to follow along and make.
The dumplings were crispy on the outside and had that slight chew that any good dumpling has from being steamed or fried! PERFECT SNACK!
★★★★★
Prathi says
This works really well in the air-fryer. Spray lightly with oil, bake at 400 for 10 -12 min, flipping halfway through. No stove splatter, and it avoids the tearing problem -- I only used one sheet of rice paper per dumpling. Great recipe!
★★★★★
Elaine says
I've been scrolling through all the comments to see if anyone had used an air fryer. I've made this recipe several times and love it. I asked for and got an air fryer for Christmas specifically for this. Thanks for the instructions!! Can't wait to try it.

Kaleigh says
I loved how easy & flavorful the filling was to make. I made a large batch by doubling ingredients so I could make enough for my family. I used two rice papers per dumpling as recommended but found 1 rice paper held up pretty well. I put some of the dumplings in a pan & some in the air fryer, both were delicious but I loved when they got crispier on the stove.
Id make this again!

These are the easiest dumplings I’ve ever made! Fun to make with kids, too. I used brown rice paper and it worked the same. Definitely stick to the recommended 2 Tbsp per wrapper, though! I overstuffed a couple and they didn’t cook through as well (and one of them burst, oops).

★★★★★
Paola Rivas says
This was such a joy to make! Dumplings tend to be very time consuming for me and sometimes I don't have access to certain ingredients, but this one was everything I needed. The rice paper has such a similar texture to regular dumpling wrapper, with a crispy outside and a chewy inside. The filling is great as well, not only does take my fear of eating under cooked filling away, it's so yummy and easy to make!
Also is a great power meal for busy college students like me!! Made a bunch and saved them in the refrigerator!
★★★★★
Joey says
First time trying RICE PAPER DUMPLING!! Definitely will make this again!!

Followed the recipe to heart and it was just delicious. We had some left over filling after we ran out of rice paper and that was lovely just by itself. I’m a student so I’m happy it was surprisingly cheap and speedy. Will defo make again!

The filling is delicious enough to eat just like that by itself but perfect when you roll it up and crisp it! Delicious!

So you don’t need to cook the tofu or anything right, just mix it with the other veggies and that’s it? Does it gather taste from that mixture with the sauces in etc? Cuz I know tofu alone is bland like that :(. Thank you!

Yes no need to cook 🙂

Oh it was so yummy! I modified it slightly by adding some gochujang to the tofu and sautéing it because my brother and I love spicier food 🥵 I loved the texture of the rice paper especially since I only used to use them for summer rolls. Highly recommend her recipes even for non-vegans!!

I love this method of making some quick dumplings. I haven't mastered cooking these yet. They still stick to my pan when I cook them and oil pops everywhere (-.-) sigh...

Never thought I would make homemade dumplings but Lisa has made it so easy and possible. I also liked it because you can make the filling however salty you like while store-bought ones are already seasoned and salty.
★★★★★
C says
These were really fun to make and the flavor is delicious. My dumplings definitely fell apart though, and I’m wondering if it was because I did all the wrapping first and then did the frying after. Maybe they sat too long and got too soft? In any case I’m not even mad - I threw that mess in a bowl and devoured it!

Racheal says
I really liked these but also curious if anyone has tried in qn air fryer?
I swapped out the soy for sweet soy in the dipping sauce because I like mine sweeter!
Also wondering how many dumplings are in 1 serve in the nutrition details listed? The recipe says for 1 serve and so does the nutritional details but given there are 70-80 calories alone for the rice paper per dumpling so not sure what a serve is.
★★★★★
Nadine says
I recreated this recipe as I've recently went gluten free and wow my mind was BLOWN! Thank you for creating a recipe that was so easy, there was barely any prep time as the rice paper is already made. The crispyness was delicious and I loved the combination of the veggies! I cannot wake to make this again, and try out more recipes. I'm drooling just thinking about it

★★★★★
Silver says
Made this recipe twice now, soo good. First time I pan fried them but used a bit too much oil so it was too oily for my taste since the paper soaked it up.. second time I tried baking them in the oven at 450 for 15 on each side, this time just spraying a bit of avo oil on them, and tho they were delicious, still could of been crispier. I’m guessing an air fryer would give me the desired texture but I’ll have to wait t’ill I get me one of those lol amazing recipe! 🙂
★★★★★
Shannon Pitzer says
I made these rice paper dumplings as full-on heavy entree sizes filled with vegan cream cheese, sautéed tofu sticks, broccoli, and corn, and it was phenomenal. The rice paper held wonderfully with the double layers, and the filling was perfectly cooked. It held together when I dipped it upside down into my sauce, and they even travelled well when I flew with them I. Tupperware containers. It takes 5 mins to make these; and these are a new low-calorie every-week meal of mine.

i love the crispy exterior with the soft interior!! definitely making again soon

alicia sanchez says
A brilliant recipe! I made these dumplings yesterday- I followed the directions exactly (with the exception of adding fish sauce to the filling (look, I am who I am). I especially appreciated the pro tip about soaking the rice paper. Mine came together quickly, browned beautifully, and were delicious! And you should have heard the crunch on them! I will 100 percent be making these again. Probably tonight.
★★★★★
Marissa says
There is something super satisfying about these dumplings with the crunchy and chewy exterior of the rice paper. My boyfriend and I crushed these dumplings in a matter of minutes! I substituted the tofu for impossible meatballs because it was I had on hand but everything else was perfect. Will definitely make again and such a good recipe to use what you have on hand!

★★★★★
Nora says
This was really tasty! Just note to myself that you should eat them as soon as they’re done, if you don’t they’ll loose their crispyness >_<‘ (I was make multiple small dishes) and personally I didn’t think they work good as a lunchbox, maybe if you have an air fryer or something! But they tasted good!

I’ve always been intimidated to make dumplings or spring rolls because I felt like it was too advanced for a beginner like me. Then I made these easy dumplings following this recipe and I am no longer that girl. Turned out great except when I tried to pan fry them the wrapper broke and I enjoyed a deconstructed dumpling like Lisa did on her first try. I then put them in the airfryer and they turned out perfectly crispy! Will be making these again for sure.

Can we just use one rice paper or is it important to do a second layer?
Lisa Kitahara says
Two layers or they may break

Tina Nguyen says
Delicious and easy to make!! I didn't read the recipe very thoroughly so I stir fired the vegetable mixture first and then food processed it. Despite the mistake, it ended up tasting delicious! I recommend waiting for the optimal hot oil heat for the brown crisp and backing very far away when putting it in so not to get oil burned.
Thanks for the delicious recipe!

★★★★★
Teagan says
Such an easy and delicious recipe! I made this for dinner for my family and we had such a fun time cooking together. The filling can be made adjusted for whatever you have at home so we added mushrooms and celery and it was very tasty. The rice paper rolls were easy to handle and fried up very nicely. We used a bigger size of rice paper rolls by accident and while it still worked well, it was a big harder to eat! Enjoy 😋

Andrea says
What kind of oil do you use in the pan? Vegetable oil?
Lisa Kitahara says
Any neutral oil!
Juliana C says
I had been meaning to try these ever since I saw the Instagram reel of them, and finally got around to it a few days ago. I love anything dumpling-related and I love how these are a switch up from regular dumplings and are unique too! The filling is super aromatic and the texture of the rice paper is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Super yummy, fun, and easy to make 🙂
★★★★★
Susan G says
The whole family loves this recipe. Question for you: Though I looked through your shopping lists, I didn't see a recommendation for a frying pan, such as the one you use for this recipe. Mine is a mess and it's time for a new one! If you have a recommendation, please share it. Thanks!
★★★★★
Stephanie says
I made these but I did something wrong g abs they weren’t crispy. Any tips?
I pan fried them on medium/high heat in oil until golden brown on both sides.
They were pretty solid when I took them out of the pan but once I started eating them they weren’t crispy and it was pretty messy.
I did use ground pork instead of tofu.
★★★★★
B says
These are so tasty and so quick to make! Especially great if you have leftover dumpling filling to use up. I was going to try making these in an air fryer but they came together so quickly in the pan (about 3 min per side) that it doesn't seem necessary
★★★★★
Roz says
I LOVE dumplings, but as my two little ones soak up all my time and energy, I really don’t have time to make any. Or so I thought until you showed me this solution. THANK YOU, you’re a lifesaver! Also thank you for teaching me how to properly deal with rice paper - I was over-soaking them in hot water for years. 🤦🏻♀️
Leslie says
Really easy and tasty recipe which can be adjusted to taste ! Maybe next time I'll ad some black mushrooms to the filling ☺️ Thank you for feeding us with new ideas every week 🥳❤️
★★★★★
Arya says
This filling was so flavourful and umami! I added a bit more chopped carrot and popped the rice paper rolls in the airfryer at 200C for around 10 mins, flipping it over midway through. Really good, though I’d probably add more filling next time because it’s addictive!

Cori Wheaton says
These were SO easy and SO good. I tried both the pan frying technique and air frying technique, and I prefer the air frying! It allowed me to only use 1 rice paper wrapper instead of 2 since I didn’t have to flip them. I set the air fryer to 400 degrees for 20 minutes and they were insanely crispy.Thank you so much for this recipe!!

Lori says
Hi there! Can you freeze these? Also, can you soak all the rice paper at once or do you need to do each one individually? Curious because i want to make a big batch! Thank you!

Delish, but I agree, make sure not to soak too long and lightly coat with oil on both sides to avoid sticking. Interested to try in air fryer.

I made these twice this week because I had leftover filling. They were amazing! I am gluten & soy free so I substituted ground pork for the tofu. I will be making these again - thank you! 😊
