Do you ever look into your fridge, overwhelmed to see all the unused fresh veggies you bought with the best intentions? Put them to good use in these versatile air-fryer rice paper dumplings. The veggies and tofu are finely chopped using a food processor, with fresh ginger and soy sauce for extra flavor. Simply wrap a few tablespoons of the mixture in a brown rice paper wrapper, then wrap the bundle up in another rice paper wrapper to ensure the dumplings don’t break. After just 8 to 10 minutes in the air fryer, you’re ready to dig in. Serve with additional soy sauce for dipping.
Tips
Gluten-free version: Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce.

Ingredients
- 1 cup coarsely chopped green cabbage
- ½ cup broccoli or veggies of choice
- ½ cup chopped yellow onion
- ¼ cup chopped carrot
- 2 scallions, coarsely chopped
- 1½-inch piece fresh ginger, coarsely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 6 oz. extra-firm tofu, drained
- 2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, plus more for dipping
- 20 brown rice paper wrappers
Instructions
- For filling, in a food processor combine the first seven ingredients (through garlic). Process until mixture is very finely chopped.
- Transfer chopped vegetables to a medium bowl. Using the coarse holes on a box grater, grate tofu into bowl (or crumble tofu with your hands). Add 2 teaspoons soy sauce; toss until well combined.
- In a large nonstick skillet cook vegetable mixture over medium 5 minutes or until just tender, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Remove from heat.
- Fill a wide, shallow bowl or tray with warm water; set it between rice paper wrappers and a cutting board. Dip one rice paper wrapper into water for a few seconds, then place wrapper on the cutting board. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the lower half of the wrapper over the filling. Take the top half and also fold it over the filling, then fold in the sides until you have a square dumpling. Repeat folding with a second layer of rice paper to prevent breakage. Repeat this process to make 10 dumplings.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Arrange as many dumplings in the air fryer as you can fit without them touching one another. Air-fry 8 to 10 minutes or until crispy. Serve immediately with additional soy sauce for dipping.
