SHAPE THE MEATBALLS: Shape the meat mixture into balls about the size of a walnut. If the mixture sticks to your hands, lightly oil your hands with olive oil. I used a small oiled cookie scoop

WRAP THE DUMPLINGS WITH RICE WRAPPERS: Soak one piece of rice wrapper at a time in water until it becomes pliable, about 45 seconds
