Description

Fire Noodle Rice Paper Dumplings are a crispy and flavorful snack made by wrapping slightly firm instant noodles and mozzarella cheese in softened rice paper, then pan-frying to golden perfection. Enhanced with a sprinkle of seaweed squares and an optional spicy chili-soy-garlic sauce, these dumplings offer an exciting fusion of textures and fiery flavors perfect for a quick appetizer or party treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dumplings

  • 6 Rice Paper Sheets
  • 1 package Instant Noodles
  • 2 oz Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 3 Seaweed Sheets, sliced into small squares
  • Neutral Cooking Oil, for frying

Optional Sauce

  • Chili Sauce (to taste)
  • Soy Sauce (to taste)
  • Minced Garlic (1 tsp)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fire Noodles: Cook the instant noodles according to package instructions, but reduce the cooking time by one minute to keep the noodles slightly firm. Drain well and set aside.
  2. Soften the Rice Paper Sheets: Fill a shallow dish or plate with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet completely into the water for a few seconds until it becomes soft and pliable. Lay it flat on a clean surface.
  3. Assemble the Dumplings: Place a small portion of the cooked noodles on the lower third of the softened rice paper. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Roll the bottom edge over the filling snugly, then fold in the sides and continue rolling tightly to seal the dumpling. Repeat with remaining sheets.
  4. Pan-Fry the Dumplings: Heat a small amount of neutral cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the dumplings seam side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Arrange the dumplings on a serving platter, garnish with sliced seaweed squares, and serve alongside your favorite sauce made from chili sauce, soy sauce, and garlic for an extra kick. Enjoy immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • To avoid tearing, handle rice paper sheets gently when softening and rolling.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
  • The noodles can be substituted with gluten-free instant noodles for a gluten-free version.
  • Adjust spiciness of the sauce according to preference.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent dumplings from sticking while frying.
