Rice paper:
- 25 Vietnamese rice paper wrappers/spring roll wrappers (banh trang) 8" rounds
Dipping sauce:

Instructions
Marinate the pork:
- In a bowl, combine the ground pork, half of the minced garlic and minced shallot, soy sauce, salt, pepper, oyster sauce and sugar.
- Mix well to incorporate into the meat.
- Place into the fridge to rest for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the vegetables:
- Heat up a large frying pan or pot over medium heat and add in vegetable oil.
- Add in the garlic, shallot, cabbage, carrot, green onions, cilantro (if using) and sauté until the cabbage is wilted and dried up considerably, about 7-8 minutes.
- Once the vegetable mixture has dried up, transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Cook the pork:
- Using the same pan over medium-high heat, add in vegetable oil, the remaining minced garlic and shallot and the ground pork.
- Cook the pork, breaking it up into smaller pieces, and stirring until cooked through.
- Add in the vegetable mixture along with the diced Chinese mushrooms, and sauté for a few more minutes.
- Ensure the mixture is sufficiently dry, remove from heat and add in sesame oil.
- Stir to combine everything well.
- Let the mixture cool slightly.
Prepare the dumplings:
- Prepare a dish with warm water.
- Dip a piece of rice paper into the warm water for a few seconds.
- Remove from the water and lay onto a flat surface or large plate.
- Take 1 ½ tablespoon of cooked filling and place it slightly offset below center.
- Fold the rice paper bottom up over the filling.
- Next, fold in both the left and right side, overlapping in the middle.
- Then fold the package up, into a little rectangle.
- Place onto a dry plate in a single layer and repeat with the remaining.
- You can serve the rice paper dumplings with dipping sauce (recipe below) as is or pan-fry them.
Pan-fry: (optional)
- Heat up a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add vegetable oil and the rice paper dumplings in a single layer, making sure they don't touch each other (you may need to do this in batches).
- Pan-fry the dumplings until golden in color on both sides.
- Remove from the pan and repeat with the remainder.
- Serve immediately.
Make the dipping sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well.
Notes
- Depending on how much filling is added to the wrappers, you may end up with anywhere from 22-25 dumplings.
