Ingredients

• 8 oz Firm tofu
• 12 sheets Rice paper wrappers
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
• 12 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 12 sprigs Fresh cilantro
• 6 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp Peanut butter
• 1 tbsp Hoison sauce
• 2 tbsp Warm water
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Drain the firm tofu and press it under a heavy object for about 15 minutes to remove excess water.

Step 2

Cut the pressed tofu into thin strips about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Toss the tofu strips in this mixture and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 4

While the tofu marinates, prep the vegetables: slice the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper into matchstick-sized pieces.

Step 5

Prepare the dipping sauce by combining 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of warm water. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the marinated tofu. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden brown on all sides. Set aside to cool.

Step 7

Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5-10 seconds until soft.

Step 8

Place the softened wrapper onto a clean, flat surface. Arrange a few pieces of tofu, carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper across the center.

Step 9

Add a lettuce leaf, 1 or 2 mint leaves, and 1 sprig of cilantro on top of the vegetables.

Step 10

Gently fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling and then roll tightly from the bottom up, like a burrito, ensuring the filling is secured. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Step 11

Serve the tofu spring rolls immediately with the prepared peanut dipping sauce.
