Put these out for the boys during a game night, and they disappeared in 5 mins!

1. Begin with a warm heart and a clean workspace. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, onion, garlic, carrot, and chopped parsley. Season it with love, salt, and pepper. Mix in the soy sauce and sesame oil until everything is well-acquainted and the mixture holds promises of hearty laughter and satisfied bellies.

2. Take one rice paper wrapper and dip it lovingly into warm water; just until it’s pliant like a summer breeze, usually about 10-15 seconds.

3. Spread the wrapper gently onto a flat surface and place a heaping tablespoon of the meat mixture in the center. Fold the bottom half over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll it up snugly like a quilt on a cool harvest night.

4. Heat a whisper of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Carefully lay the dumplings seam-side down, and cook until they’re golden brown, reminiscent of autumn leaves – about 2 minutes per side.

5. Serve these beauties warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, and share them with kin or a kindred spirit.
