Rice Paper Pouches Filled with Cabbage, Tofu, and Carrots

Sometimes our family loves to explore the cuisines of other countries—there’s always something new to learn from different culinary traditions! These pouches have become one of our favorite dishes for many reasons: the crispy exterior, the aroma of toasted sesame, and the sweet and savory contrast of the dipping sauce. You just have to try making them!

Steps
- 1
Wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, then finely chop them. Slice the leek thinly and cut the cabbage into thin strips. Soak both in cold water for a few minutes. Peel and finely grate the carrot.
- 2
Drain the tofu and pat it dry (no need to press it), then crumble it finely. Peel the fresh ginger and garlic; finely chop the garlic (you’ll grate the ginger directly into the pan later).
- 3
Heat the sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the mushrooms, cabbage, leek, carrot, and tofu. Stir with a wooden spoon and sauté over medium heat.
- 4
When the vegetables start to soften, add the chopped garlic and grate the ginger over the mixture. Add the soy sauce and continue cooking on low heat, covered, until all the liquid has evaporated.
- 5
Prepare a plate with room temperature water and lightly moisten a cutting board (this keeps the rice paper from sticking). Start assembling the pouches. Dip a sheet of rice paper in the water for about 20 seconds—no longer, or it may tear.
- 6
Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of the moistened rice paper. Fold up the bottom edge, then fold in the sides, and finish rolling to form a pouch. Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling.
- 7
As you finish each pouch, place it on parchment paper, brush the top with sesame oil, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- 8
COOKING METHOD 1: Place the pouches with the parchment paper in an air fryer and cook at 355°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- 9
COOKING METHOD 2: Place the pouches with the parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- 10
While the pouches are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, and chili powder (to taste). Mix well and thin with a little cold water (1-2 tablespoons).
- 11
Remove the pouches and serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
