Homemade Chinese chicken dumplings with vegetables are healthy and easy to make and perfect as a light meal or appetiser.

Crispy Rice Paper Dumplings
The unique thing about this recipe is, instead of using the typical dumpling dough, we're going to use rice papers. You know the ones that you use to make fresh or fried Vietnamese spring rolls? Yes, those!
For more carbs you can double wrap the chicken mince filling with 2 rice papers instead of one. Either air fry them or fry in the pan with cooking spray.
