3. 3Stir in scallions, ginger, tamari, rice, sesame seeds, cabbage, and rice vinegar; cook just until combined and fragrant.
4. 4Soften one rice paper wrapper at a time in warm water until pliable, then place it on a damp surface.

Tips

• Do not overfill the wrappers or they may split while baking.
• Chopping the mushrooms very finely helps the filling stay compact and even.
