Ingredients

• 4 sheets tofu skin (yuba sheets)
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 small cucumber
• 1 medium avocado
• 2 stalks scallions
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• 2 cups water (for softening tofu skin)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables by julienning the carrot, red bell pepper, and cucumber into thin strips. Slice the avocado into thin wedges. Finely chop the scallions and fresh cilantro.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, add 2 cups of warm water and submerge the tofu skin sheets for 2-3 minutes to soften. Once soft, carefully remove and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Lay one sheet of tofu skin flat on a clean surface. Arrange a small portion of the julienned carrot, red bell pepper, cucumber, avocado slices, scallions, and cilantro near the edge closest to you.

Step 4

Gently roll the tofu skin away from you, tucking in the ingredients to form a tight roll. If the edges are not sealing well, use a small dab of water to help seal the roll.

Step 5

Repeat the process with the remaining tofu skin sheets and filling ingredients to create 4 rolls in total.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to create a dipping sauce.

Step 7

Slice each tofu skin roll into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately with the dipping sauce on the side for a heart-healthy, delicious appetizer or light meal.
