Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 rice paper sheets
  • 1 cup cooked vermicelli noodles
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
  • 1 block of firm tofu (or 8 cooked shrimp)
  • 2 tablespoons green onion, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or rice vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • Oil spray for air frying
  • Optional dipping sauce: sweet chili, peanut, or soy-ginger

Instructions

  1. Soak Rice Paper: Soak one rice paper sheet in warm water for 10–15 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable, making it easier to roll without tearing.
  2. Prepare Surface and Filling: Transfer the softened sheet to a damp surface like a wooden board or clean towel to prevent sticking. Add a small layer of cooked vermicelli noodles, shredded carrots, chopped cabbage, and either firm tofu or cooked shrimp in the center.
  3. Roll the Rice Paper: Fold in the sides of the rice paper, then roll it tightly from the bottom up, similar to a burrito, ensuring all filling is sealed inside. Repeat this process for the remaining sheets and fillings.
  4. Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly brush or spray each roll with sesame oil or a neutral cooking oil to promote a crispy texture during air frying.
  5. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2–3 minutes to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking.
  6. Arrange Rolls: Place the rolls seam-side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding to allow for even cooking and crisping.
  7. Air Fry Rolls: Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping the rolls halfway through to achieve a golden and crispy texture on all sides.
  8. Serve: Remove your crispy rice paper rolls and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce such as sweet chili, peanut, or soy-ginger for added flavor.

Notes

  • If using tofu, press it to remove excess moisture before shredding or cubing for best texture.
  • Vegetables can be customized to your preference; bean sprouts or bell peppers also work well.
  • Ensure not to soak the rice paper too long, or it will become too soft and difficult to handle.
  • You can prepare these rolls ahead of time and refrigerate them; just air fry before serving to restore crispiness.
  • Adjust cooking times based on your air fryer model to prevent burning.
