¼ small green cabbage

# Instructions:
01 -
Shred the cabbage and carrots finely. Dice the garlic and mushrooms into small cubes. Using your fingers, crumble the tofu into small pieces.
02 -
In a large pan, sauté mushrooms for a few minutes in oil until browned. Add all the vegetables and tofu. When they're half cooked and starting to soften, season with salt and pepper and grate in some fresh ginger.
03 -
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 to cool down completely.
04 -
Make a dipping station with a tray of water, along with a wet chopping board or damp clean tea towel to wrap the rice paper dumplings on.
05 -
Dip a rice paper sheet in water for a few seconds and place on the damp surface. Add a spoon of the filling mixture in the center in a rectangle shape. Fold the bottom of the sheet over the filling, then the top, then the sides to form a square/rectangle pocket.
06 -
Dip a second rice paper sheet in water, place 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.
07 -
Pan fry the dumplings in your preferred oil over a medium-high heat for a few minutes on each side until lightly golden and crispy.
08 -
Serve the dumplings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
