Final product
Dumplings made with rice paper look just like those made with flour, as there is a translucent layer that allows you to see the filling inside.
The dumplings are chewy, combined with the sweet crunch of shrimp and minced pork, dipped in a bit of savory and spicy soy sauce. This is an ideal snack for any member of your family.
Tips for successfully making dumplings with rice paper
- Choose rice paper with high elasticity, as it will create a strong stickiness and help prevent the dumplings from becoming soggy when steamed.
- You can chop the shrimp finely instead of cutting them into small pieces, which is suitable for children or the elderly.
- Dumplings are dipped in sauce, so you do not need to marinate the filling too salty.
Hope the above sharing will help you know how to make dumplings with rice paper super fast, delicious, and easy to make. Wishing you success with many delicious dishes with TasteVN.
