• 300-400 g of your favourite vegetables

• 1 block of firm tofu

• 14-24 rice paper sheets (depending on size)

Instructions

1. Cut the vegetables into small pieces and crumble the block of tofu.

2. In a bowl, mix the tofu and vegetables with the chives, soya sauce, ginger, pepper, salt, and paprika.

3. Optionally, fry the mixture in a pan and let it cool, or leave it raw if all vegetables are safe for raw consumption.

4. Dip a piece of rice paper into a container of warm water until it is slightly soft but not soggy.

5. Place a portion of the filling onto the rice paper and fold the sides over to form a parcel.

6. Double-wrap the parcel by repeating the dipping and folding process with a second piece of rice paper, and continue until all filling is used.

7. Sprinkle the sides of the dumplings with sesame seeds and fry them in a pan until golden.

8. Prepare the sauce by shaking 2 tablespoons of tahini and 1 tablespoon of soya sauce in a jar, then diluting with water to your desired consistency.

9. Serve the dumplings with the prepared tahini sauce, hoisin, or sriracha.
