Rice Paper Dumplings

These Rice Paper Dumplings are crispy on the outside and filled with flavourful goodies on the inside.

These crispy Rice Paper Dumplings are a combination of two of my favourite things combined…Dumplings and Rice Paper rolls! Then dipped into a tasty homemade Gyoza dipping sauce to make them even better 🙂

They’re crispy on the outside, chewy and filled with flavourful goodies on the inside.

This recipe for Rice Paper Dumplings takes 20 minutes to make and is also vegan and gluten free, so everyone can enjoy them!

They’re also much easier than making dumplings and you can change up the filling to your liking.

If you love this recipe and rice paper rolls, you have to also check out my Vegan Summer Rolls that are just as delicious.

These Rice Paper Dumplings are inspired by the lovely Lisa from okonomi kitchen. I saw her make on these on Tiktok, and I knew I had to try them with my own twist! They're definitely a must-try!

Ingredients to make Rice Wrapper Dumplings

  • Rice Paper Sheets / Rice Paper Wrappers are the foundation of the dumplings. You can find them at your local Asian grocer along with most supermarkets
  • Firm tofu is my preferred protein. You can also substitute with prawns or chicken if you’re not vegan
  • Mushrooms have a nice umami flavour along with a meaty texture so they’re great to add in the filling
  • Carrots give a nice sweetness and colour, just ensure you grate them finely so they cook quickly with the rest of the vegetables
  • Green cabbage is also great as it goes with all vegetables and gives a little crunch
  • Garlic and Ginger brings a beautiful flavour to the filling
  • Sesame oil and Soy sauce are used to flavour the filling. You don’t need to add much as you will also have a dipping sauce. You can also use Tamari which is a gluten free soy sauce

How to make Rice Paper Dumplings

Make these delicious rice paper dumplings in no time at all. Follow my steps below.

Prepare filling

Shred cabbage and carrots finely. Finely dice garlic and mushrooms into small cubes. Using your fingers, crumble the tofu into small pieces

Cook filling

Sauté the mushroom for a few minutes in oil. Once browned add all the vegetables and tofu. When they’re half cooked and starting to soften, season and grate in some ginger.

Add soy sauce along with a dash of sesame oil, stir through and take off the heat. Stir in chopped spring onions and set the mixture aside

Make the dumplings

Dip a rice paper sheet in water for a few seconds and place it on a damp surface.

Add a spoon of the filling mixture in the centre of the sheet in a rectangle shape.

Starting at the bottom, fold over the rice paper sheet to cover the filling. Then fold the top of the sheet over the filling, then the same with the sides so you will be left with a square/rectangle shape pocket.

Dip a second rice paper sheet in the water, place it on the damp surface, and place the pocket in the middle. Wrap the pocket the same way by folding from the bottom first and so on, to double wrap the filling.

Repeat this process until all the filling has finished

Cook the dumplings

Pan-fry the dumplings on medium heat for a few minutes on each side until lightly golden.

Serve with a dipping sauce, and enjoy your crispy Rice Paper Dumplings

FAQs

Can you prepare the rice paper dumplings in advance?

You can prepare the filling in advance, however, the dumplings must be made and eaten fresh

Can rice paper be used for dumplings?

Yes rice paper acts as a wrapper to provide a crispy and chewy texture

Tips to make Rice Paper Dumplings

  • Prepare and cut your vegetables and tofu in similar sizes so that they are mixed in well together and will cook evenly
  • Only dip the rice paper sheets in warm for a few seconds. They will soften more as they’re handled. If they are oversoaked, they will be too sticky and won't crisp up.
  • When wrapping the rice paper dumplings, ensure to wrap them on a damp tea towel or a wet chopping board. This stops the sheets from sticking to the plate and ripping when being wrapped
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying the rice paper dumplings. They can easily stick together so make sure there is enough room between them
  • Make sure to eat them straight away whilst they're nice and crispy as they will soften. Keep them on a wire cooling rack if you are cooking in batches to keep crispy

          Made these but modified the filling. They didn't fry up as crispy as the video so we had to eat them with a knife and fork. Maybe out filling was too moist? Used broccoli slaw, grated beets and tofu.

            The filling shouldn't be water as it can cause that. Also make sure to only dip the rice paper sheets in water for a few seconds. Over soaking them wont allow to become crispy xx

            Can't wait to try these. Do you think they could be made with Napa cabbage? I'd worry about it being too wet. But when my Chinese mum makes regular dumplings she shreds Napa, adds salt, lets it sit 10 min, then squeezes out excess liquid.

          Oh wow. We tried this recipe and it was a sticky jelly fish like mess. I don't know what happened. Maybe too big, or paper too wet. Definitely not crispy when we sat down to eat. I was really looking forward to it too. Do you fry on medium or high heat? 🙁

            Oh no, it sounds like the rice paper sheets were oversoaked. They only need a quick dip in water as they will be too soft and wont get crispy. I have some tips to help xxx
            Also fry on medium-high and keep on a wire rack when cooking in batches

            April 14, 2022 at 7:22 pm

            Freezing unfortunately wont work as the rice paper sheets will tear as they're so soft and delicate.
            You can however prep the filling and freeze it so that way, all you have to do is roll them and fry 🙂

            Really love the flavor but can’t get the frying right! They’re crispy, but the heat of the filling makes them soggy by the time they are cooled down (we cool them on a rack)… any pointers?

          • Ayeh Manfre says

            February 18, 2023 at 5:17 am

            So happy you love the flavors! Yes they do need to be eaten soon after they are cooked as the rice paper sheets are quite delicate and will soften more the longer they are left. Also make sure to only dip the sheets in water for a few seconds as oversoaking will prevent them becoming crispy 🙂

            Are there different types of rice paper? When I went to fry them it made a huge sticky mess in the pan and they fell apart. Experimented with different temps but the same thing happened— where did I go wrong? Just ate the filling by itself and it was very good lol

            Oh no, that doesn't sound right. Make sure to only dip the sheets in water for a couple of seconds as they slowly soften themselves. They are delicate so you dont want them over-soaked as they will rip. Also are you using 2 rice paper sheets?

    These dumplings are so tasty, so versatile and healthy. I made the filling with sweet potatoes, carrots, zuchini, green onions, garlic and ground beef. They were such a hit, even my son who is not a vegetable lover, devoured them in minutes. Definitely doing them again this week.

      The filling can be frozen, but not the dumplings. The rice paper is very delicate so they wont be very good once frozen and then thawed xx

        Mine stuck to the pan and I couldn’t get them to work. Was I using the wrong oil? The filling was amazing and we had them cold which worked as well.

    The flavors in this recipe are incredible! My husband isn’t a fan of tofu so I replaced that with ground pork. I also tried rolling them like a salad roll with only one wrapper because my doctor wants me eating low carb (after doing that, I can definitely see why you use two sheets!). Next time I will just make the filling and eat it from a bowl because I don’t need the wrapper, but I will definitely be making it again because this is absolutely delicious. Thank you for an amazing recipe!

      They need to be served straight away as the longer they are left, they will soften as the rice paper sheets are very delicate. I rest them on a wire rack while cooking the remaining to keep them crispy x

      Make sure to only dip the sheets in water for a couple of seconds as they soften while you're wrapping them. If you oversoak, they will be too wet and wont get crispy

    I did something wrong?! I used spring roll papers and they held together until I tried frying them at which time they totally fell apart in the pan.

    Any suggestions because I definitely want to try again.

    These were so easy and SO delicious! I made them as a side dish alongside soy-glazed chicken with ginger scallion oil, but really they could have easily been a main course. Made everyone in my family very happy. They do lose their crunch rather quickly (though it really doesn’t alter the taste), as the recipe warned, so I cooked them, then cooked our main, then reheated these in the air fryer the last several minutes. Everything was perfect.

    Made these last night and while the filling is great, they were just a mess - they started to fall apart after one bite, after two it was just a pile of stuff on the plate. Any tips on keeping them together? I had to cook them in 2 batches, they were crispy when they came out of the pan but too hot to eat immediately, and in the few minutes it took to cook the second batch, the first was already getting unmanageable. Thanks!

      Oh no sorry to hear! Make sure to only dip the rice paper sheets in water for a couple of seconds. If they're oversoaked, they will be too delicate and soft so they can tear very easily. Also ensure to double wrap in 2 rice paper sheets. Hope this helps xx

    My wrappers didn’t crisp up at all. Totally mushy, especially on the edges. I left them in the pan longer, thinking that might help, also varied the amount of oil (I wasn’t sure how much to use). They only burned when I left them longer. What am I doing wrong??

    Gosh I hope everyone else was able to do this. I ended up in tears ordering a pizza! The rice paper was hard to fold and kept cracking. Then, mixture was a little too runny. I followed instructions exactly. Then, when cooking them, they stuck to each other and then they stuck to the spatual when I would turn them and they all ripped open and it was just a mess. Picture on recipe looks good. You don't want to see the mess mine came out to be. Will never attempt this again.

    Delicious filling and they came out crispy for me. I had a really hot pan. But they came out too oily. I tried deep frying them, way too oily. And pan searing and both ways I found them to be just too oily. Maybe a better non stick pan with very little oil would be better. The rice paper will stick too easily if it isn't non stick but I don't like to use Teflon. I have a ceramic pan for non stick but it wasn't enough. Or I would try maybe an air fryer instead.

    Hi Ayeh
    Your directions were clear and simple and the ingredients are tasty. However, I had a problem with the texture of my dumplings and wondered if you could shed some light on it. Because I was making them solo, I made all 13 dumplings and the proceeded to fry them 3 at a time. Each batch of 3 took about 10 minutes to brown in my cast iron fry pan. I noticed the uncooked dumplings were beginning to really stick to the plastic plate so I put a damp paper towel under them until they could be cooked. The result was that many of them were soggy and greasy. So....next time I make them I think I'll just make 3 and then fry them. Meanwhile I'll make 3 more and fry them so they're not sitting waiting. Or I could ask someone to help fry them while I roll the dumplings. Any suggestions why they took so long to brown? Thanks for any advice. We loved them (except for the texture).

      Hi Norma, so happy you liked the taste. As the rice paper is quite sticky, I have some tips noted to wrap on a damp tea towel or wet chopping board which will stop them from sticking to the plate. They only need to be fried for a few minutes on each side to brown and crisp up, not sure about the cast iron pan though. They do need to be eaten when hot to be the crispiest as they will soften the longer they are left. You can also let the cooked batch rest on a wire cooling rack to keep them crispy while cooking the next batch. Hope this helps x

    I've made this twice and both times the rice paper was really stiff after I soaked it for a few seconds and impossible to roll up, so I soaked it longer, like maybe 1 minute. Then it was super easy to roll but took forever to crisp up in the pan and the dumplings constantly stuck together. The filling tasted great but it was such a pain to make these dumplings with the rice paper. Any help?

      Hi Linda, glad you liked the filling and sorry to hear the other issues. If you're soaking the rice paper for 1 minute, they are being oversoaked so they wont crisp up. Wrap the rice paper on a wet surface like a wet kitchen towel or wet chopping board. Also make sure they are not touching in the pan as they will stick (check out my tips, I cover all of these there too 🙂

    The fact that the rice paper should not be soaked for more than a few seconds really should be in the actual printable recipe, front and center, in bold type, since it effects whether this recipe is a success or not. I soaked mine too long (did not see that small note until reading through the entire blog post later) and they would not crisp up after cooking for a very long time, and eventually completely fell apart.

    Hi Ayesha ! Loved, loved, loved these ! ♥️ So delicious. So anyways, I liked them so much I decided to make these appetizers for the football game along with the Gyoza dipping sauce . Everyone loved them . Only thing I had done differently was adding ice berg lettuce to it. Not on the inside . Once they were cooked I wrapped each one in a small piece of iceberg lettuce. It was easy to handle ( not hot ) and provided a little more crunch . Thank you, so much for sharing . Onwards to try the no knead focaccia bread ! Wish me luck !

    This was really delicious! I didn't have rice paper, so I used Nasoya Egg Roll Wraps instead and it worked beautifully!

    I just cooked these, left out the cabbage and added sweet corn, bamboo shoots and chopped shrimp. I did them in the air fryer 390 for 8 minutes. The last batch came out pretty crispy. They were all delicious!

    Filling turned out great however cooking them turned disastrous. Any tips on frying these?

      Oh no, what seemed to be the problem? I have a tips section with some information especially on how to roll them as that could be the problem. If the sheets are oversoaked, they will end up being too soft and can break open

    Thanks for the amazing recipe. I've a question
    can the rice paper dumplings be frozen for later used or prepare
    ahead in the morning and pan fry later in the evening?

      You can pre-make the filling and freeze it for next time, but the dumplings are best when rolled and cooked fresh as they're very delicate and don't freeze well

    Hi, this looks amazing! I'd like to try making this but first, may I know what mushroom did you use? Thanks in advance!

    I made these today. Turned out good - but I highly recommend double wrapping. I didn't have enough rice paper wrappers and did it only once - big mistake. they didn't hold up to the frying. But they were still delicious. Will definitely be making them again!

      The double wrapping is very crucial as they are quite delicate, but I'm happy you still loved them 🙂 Next time they will be even better!

    Hi! Love this recipe. It’s become such a go-to!
    Just wondering if the filling can be frozen?
    If it can only be refrigerated, how long would you say?

      So happy you love it Maddie! Yes certainly, the filling can be frozen, then all you need to do is wrap them and fry when ready. If refrigerating it will keep 3-4 days 🙂

    These were delicious, though a bit fussy. Would have liked to have a dip recipe included.

    Does the nutritional table refer to one dumpling?

    While these were lovely, they were just too time consuming

      So glad you loved them Susan. To save some time, you can cook the filling in advance and even freeze it so all you have to do is wrap and fry them when ready to eat 🙂
