Pantry cooking using rice paper wrappers I had. I decided to make pan fried rice paper rolls using leftover veggies and tofu in the fridge. I chopped up everything fine and added to the filling: mushroom soy sauce, maggi sauce, sugar, garlic, mushroom broth powder and salt and pepper. Pan fried them in oil which made them pretty greasy so not sure if I’ll make them again. But they were very tasty. The dipping sauce is soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, Chinese black vinegar and chili oil. #panfriedricepaperroll #panfrieddumpling

Dabeli
Ohhh my god Indian street food goes hard! I saw a couple posts about Dabeli which is a pressed sandwich snack from the Kutch region in Gujarat. I did the best with what I had in my kitchen. The filling is mashed potatoes cooked with tamarind chutney and spices. The Dabeli spices consist of: Kashmiri chili powder, coriander, cumin, turmeric, fennel, coconut, sugar, clove, cinnamon, black pepper and star anise. To prepare the sandwich you add cilantro mint chutney to the buns with the potato mixture and tamarind sauce. Then you cook each side in (vegan) butter in a pan until hot. Then you sprinkle with sev which are crispy thin chickpea noodles. You are supposed to add toasted peanuts and pomegranate seeds which I didn’t have. I cannot tell you how delicious this was! It was spicy, tangy, crunchy, sweet, salty and buttery.😋🤤🤤🤤🤤 #dabeli #chaat #indianstreetfood❤️
