Crispy Shrimp & Chicken Rice Paper Dumplings are a delightful combination of crisp texture and bold flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12–15 rice paper sheets
- 7 oz ground chicken
- 7 oz raw shrimp, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp grated garlic or garlic paste
- 2 tsp grated ginger or ginger paste
- 3–4 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce (or mild stir-fry sauce)
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp white or black pepper
- Cooking oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped shrimp, garlic paste, and grated ginger. Add in the chopped green onions, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Soften the Rice Paper: Dip each sheet quickly in warm water for about 5 to 6 seconds. Lay them out flat on your prepared work surface.
- Assemble the Dumplings: Take a softened rice paper sheet and add approximately one tablespoon of your filling to the center. Fold the sides over the filling, then fold down the top and bottom edges to seal the dumpling.
- Fry the Dumplings: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add cooking oil. Place the dumplings seam-side down and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden-brown.
- Make the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar (or lemon juice), and sugar (or honey). Adjust according to your preference.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the dumplings on a serving platter and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
