1. Rehydrate the tofu skin sheets by soaking them in warm water for 10 minutes until soft. Carefully pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2. Crumble the extra-firm tofu into a mixing bowl until it resembles small granules.
3. Finely julienne the carrot, thinly slice the shiitake mushrooms, and chop the scallions.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the carrot, mushrooms, and scallions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
5. Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet. Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 0.25 teaspoons of salt, and 0.25 teaspoons of white pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes. Remove the filling mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly.
6. Take a softened tofu skin sheet and place it on a flat surface. Add about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling across one edge of the sheet. Roll it up tightly, folding in the sides toward the center to create a sealed roll. Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling.
7. In a small bowl, mix 2 teaspoons of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Use this to seal the edges of the rolls, if necessary.
8. Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the rolls seam-side down in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove the rolls from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. Let them cool for 1-2 minutes.
10. Serve while warm as a high-protein snack or pair with a dipping sauce of your choice.
