- The filling must be cool and fairly dry or steam can split the wrappers.
- Leave space between rolls and oil the basket; rice paper becomes sticky before it becomes crisp.

Why it fits
Folding and dipping make dinner tactile; the shattering chewy shell delivers the payoff.
01 Gather
Ingredients
Makes 2 generous servings
- 12 rice paper rounds
- 8 oz extra firm tofu
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 carrot
- 4 scallions
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 lime
- Neutral oil
02 Make
The good part
- 01
Crumble tofu and cook with cabbage, carrot, scallions, ginger, garlic, 1 tablespoon tamari, and sesame oil until dry; cool 10 minutes.
- 02
Dip one rice paper round in warm water for only 3 seconds, place on a damp board, add filling, and fold tightly; repeat with a second wrapper around each roll.
- 03
Brush rolls lightly with neutral oil and air fry at 390°F for 12 to 14 minutes, turning once, until blistered and crisp.
- 04
Whisk lime juice, remaining tamari, sesame oil, and a splash of water for dipping.
03 Know before you cook
Small details, better dinner.
Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.
- Finely chopped shrimp or chicken can replace tofu but must be fully cooked before wrapping.
- Add mushrooms, edamame, or bean sprouts while keeping the total filling volume similar.
Best eaten immediately. Refrigerate cooked rolls for up to 2 days and crisp again in an air fryer; do not microwave.
