Spicy Tofu Summer Rolls
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 rice paper wrappers
- 1 block of firm tofu, drained and pressed, then cut into thin strips
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cucumber, julienned
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon agave nectar. Set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the tofu strips and pour the sauce over them. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the tofu is heated through and the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for a few seconds to soften. Place the wrapper on a clean, damp kitchen towel.
- In a row across the center, place a handful of shredded lettuce, carrots, cucumber, mint, and cilantro. Top with a few strips of the spicy tofu. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then tightly roll the wrapper. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Serve the summer rolls with a side of soy sauce or peanut dipping sauce, if desired. Enjoy!
