Full recipe:
Pro Tip: Pre-make your filling and keep it in the fridge up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 4 weeks so you can whip up a batch of these anytime you need a snack.

Intro: A lighter and still satisfying option for comfort food, these shrimp dumplings require zero special folding or pinching skills; simply fill, fold, and you’re done. Crispy, chewy and oh-so sustainable, they can be pan fried or cooked in the air fryer - your choice!

Prep: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10- 15 minutes

Serving size: 4 as a main course for lunch or dinner, also great as an appetizer

Experience level: Beginner

Ingredients:

1 package (340 g) frozen MSC certified sustainable coldwater shrimp

1 cup (127 g) day-old sticky rice

2 cups (145 g) Napa cabbage, roughly chopped

½ cup (120 g) kimchi

1 tbsp (15 g) ginger, minced

1 tbsp (15 g) garlic, minced

2 green onions, roughly chopped

1 egg

Splash of soy sauce

1 pack of 12 rice papers, large rounds

Nori cut into small rectangles

Neutral oil like vegetable or canola

How-to:

In a food processor, add the shrimp, Napa cabbage, kimchi, ginger and garlic, and pulse until combined but not paste-like (you still want some texture).

Add the green onion, egg, sticky rice and splash of soy. Pulse a few times until you get a consistent texture. Set aside.

In a large bowl with room temperature water, soak one sheet of rice paper at a time, just for a few seconds to loosen it up.

Place on a cutting board and center one piece of nori on the rice paper. Top with a generous amount of filling, about 2 tbsp. Roll and fold into a “pillow”, or the shape of your choice. Prepare 12 dumplings.

In a large frying pan on medium high heat, add in enough cooking oil to fully coat the pan and fry the dumplings on both sides until crispy, around 5 minutes.

Alternatively, you can cook these in an air fryer at 375° for 3-5 minutes.
