Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cups kataifi
  • ½ cup pistachio butter
  • 4 small strawberries
  • 8 sheets of rice paper
  • 1 Tbsp culinary grade matcha
  • cup rice flour

Instructions
 Start Cooking 

  • To toast the kataifi filling, melt butter in a large pan over medium heat and add the kataifi.
  • Sauté the kataifi for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it becomes golden brown and crispy. Transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
  • Mix the pistachio butter into the toasted kataifi until fully combined. Place the mixture in the freezer for 15 minutes (or refrigerate for about 1 hour) to allow it to firm up.
  • To form the filling, fold the strawberries into the kataifi mixture and shape it into small balls. Place the balls back into the refrigerator while preparing the rice paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the matcha powder and rice flour.
  • Layer two rice paper sheets together and dip them briefly into hot water, making sure the entire sheet becomes damp and pliable.
  • Place the rice paper on a flat surface and dust one side with the matcha rice flour mixture.
  • Flip the rice paper sheet so the undusted side faces up, place a filling ball in the center, and wrap the rice paper around the filling until fully sealed.
  • Place the wrapped balls in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up before serving.
  • Serve shortly after making, as rice paper can harden if stored too long in the refrigerator.
