Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp Filling: Pulse the raw shrimp in a food processor until roughly chopped. Add the finely sliced scallions, minced ginger, salt, white pepper, and toasted sesame oil in a bowl and stir together until well combined.
- Set Up for Piping: Pour the shrimp mixture into a zip-top bag, squeeze out as much air as possible, seal it, and cut a small corner of the bag.
- Hydrate the Rice Paper: In a shallow dish, mix warm water with a bit of sugar. Dip one sheet of Vietnamese rice paper for about 2-3 seconds until flexible but firm.
- Assemble the Dumplings: Place the hydrated rice paper on a clean surface, pipe a line of shrimp filling down the center, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
- Fry the Dumplings: Heat about 1/4 inch of neutral oil in a skillet until shimmering. Add dumplings in batches and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Transfer the fried dumplings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with a dipping sauce.

Notes
Ensure shrimp are patted dry before chopping to prevent a soggy filling. Fry dumplings in small batches to maintain oil temperature.
