Method

  1. In a bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and the SpiceX sweet sriracha blend. Mix well with a chopstick until the seasoning is evenly distributed.

  2. Rice paper is dipped into a bowl of water to soften it.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The rice paper bends without cracking after dipping. Lift it as soon as it softens so it remains manageable.

  3. Lay the softened rice paper flat on a clean surface.

  4. A portion of the filling is placed onto the center of the softened rice paper.

  5. Roll the rice paper into a sausage‑shaped roll, sealing the edges.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The wrapper seals around the filling without open edges. Press along the seam to help it stay closed.

  6. The filled rice paper roll is cut into bite‑sized pieces using scissors.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The cut pieces keep their wrapped shape. Use scissors carefully to avoid pulling the rice paper apart.

  7. Spray the pieces lightly with avocado oil.

  8. Air fry the nuggets until they are golden brown and crispy, following the air fryer settings shown on screen.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The outside is golden and crisp. Arrange pieces with space between them for airflow.
