Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 sheets Rice paper
- 1 cup Hearts of palm
- 1 cup King oyster mushrooms
- 0.5 cup Carrot
- 0.25 cup Green onions
- 1 tbsp Ginger
- 1 tbsp Garlic
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 sheet Nori seaweed
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Finely chop the hearts of palm, king oyster mushrooms, carrot, and green onions into small, uniform pieces.
In a heated pan, add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Add the ginger and garlic, sautéing until aromatic, about 1 minute.
Add the hearts of palm, mushrooms, and carrot to the pan. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture softens and any excess moisture evaporates.
Stir in the soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and finely shredded nori seaweed. Cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in the cornstarch to help bind the filling.
Prepare a shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper sheet at a time for a few seconds until pliable, then lay flat on a damp kitchen towel.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture into the center of the softened rice paper.
Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, then fold over the sides, and roll up tightly to form a dumpling.
Repeat with the remaining rice paper and filling.
Optional: To steam the dumplings, arrange them in a single layer in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Steam for 6-8 minutes.
Serve the vegetarian prawn dumplings warm, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce.
