- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup peas
- 4 rice paper sheets
- 1/2 cup Kikkoman® Gluten-Free Sweet Chili Sauce, for dipping
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of Kikkoman® Sesame Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped potato and cook for 5-7 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Toss the finely diced onion and red bell pepper into the skillet.
- Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground turmeric, and sea salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the spices are fragrant.
- Add the chopped cilantro and peas, stirring to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes, until the peas are heated through.
- Prepare the Rice Paper:
- Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Submerge a rice paper sheet in water for 10-15 seconds, or until it becomes pliable.
- Carefully lay the softened rice paper sheet on a clean, flat surface.
- Fill and Fold the Samosas:
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of the rice paper sheet.
- Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then fold the bottom up and roll to form a neat packet, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed.
- Cook the Samosas:
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of Kikkoman® Sesame Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the samosas in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Remove the samosas from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the crispy and chewy rice paper samosas warm, with Kikkoman® Gluten-Free Sweet Chili Sauce for dipping.
