Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Sauté minced garlic and grated ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add your choice of protein, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Incorporate tamari or soy sauce and toasted sesame oil, continuously stirring until the protein is cooked.

Stir in shredded carrots, sliced cabbage, and chopped mushrooms. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until veggies soften, then cool the mixture in a bowl.

Prepare a shallow bowl with warm water and set up oiled plates for wrapping the dumplings.

Dip a rice paper sheet into warm water for a couple of seconds until soft. Place it on an oiled plate.

Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of cooled filling into the center of the rice paper. Fold sides inward and roll tightly to seal.

In the skillet, heat oil for shallow frying. Fry 3-4 dumplings at a time for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce and garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
