Instructions
Cook Buldak Ramen according to package instructions. Divide into 9 bite-sized portions.
1 pack Buldak Ramen
Soak the Vietnamese rice paper, one at a time, in warm water to soften it up. Lay it on a clean flat surface.
9 sheets Vietnamese Spring Roll Rice Paper
Place a portion of the buldak ramen at the centre of the softened rice paper. Top it with cheese slices, followed by chopped spring onions.
2 Spring Onions, 4-5 slices Cheese (I use Cheddar)
Fold one edge of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly.
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. You can test if the oil is hot enough by inserting a wooden chopstick into the pan - the oil should be bubbling around the chopstick when it is ready.
3 tbsp Cooking Oil
Shallow fry the dumplings until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side.
Serve warm with garlic mayo and/or chilli oil.
Garlic Mayo, Chilli Oil
Notes
Dip the rice paper sheets only for a few seconds, one at a time, just enough for them to soften up to handle. Over-soaking the rice paper sheets would end up being too soft and sticky, making them very difficult to handle and fold.
Do not overfill your dumplings. The rice paper sheets are thin and could tear easily when there's too much filling.
Make sure your pan and oil are properly heated before adding the dumplings to prevent them from sticking.
Don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if needed, so that each dumpling crisps up evenly.
