Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 6 ounces each) Fresh fish fillet (e.g., tilapia or cod)
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 small Red bell pepper
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 8 pieces Rice paper wrappers
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups (for softening rice paper) Water
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil)

Directions

Step 1

Pat dry the fish fillets and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the fish fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and flake easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before breaking into chunks.

Step 3

Julienne the carrot, zucchini, and red bell pepper into thin strips. Slice the green onions lengthwise into thin strips as well.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and sesame oil to create a simple dipping sauce. Set aside.

Step 5

Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip each rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10 seconds, or until softened. Lay the softened wrapper flat on a clean surface.

Step 6

Place a small portion of cooked fish chunks in the center of the wrapper. Add a small handful of julienned vegetables (carrot, zucchini, red bell pepper, and green onion) on top. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for added flavor.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the rice paper wrapper inward, then roll tightly from the bottom upward to create a neat roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Step 8

In a clean skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Sear each roll for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until they develop a light golden color and crisp exterior.

Step 9

Serve the rolls warm with the soy-sesame dipping sauce on the side.
