Vegan Salad Rolls
Fresh Vietnamese-style rice-paper rolls filled with tofu, rice vermicelli, crisp vegetables, and herbs, served with a creamy lime-peanut dipping sauce.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Cook the rice vermicelli in boiling water according to its package directions until tender, about 3–4 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain thoroughly.
-
Step 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden on several sides, then add soy sauce and turn the strips until coated.
-
Step 3
Whisk the peanut butter with 1 tbsp soy sauce, the lime juice, maple syrup, garlic, and water until smooth and pourable.
-
Step 4
Prepare the carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, lettuce, mint, and cilantro as specified, keeping the fillings in separate piles for easy assembly.
-
Step 5
Fill the shallow dish with warm water. Working with one rice paper wrapper at a time, dip it briefly until flexible, place it on the cutting board, and arrange noodles, tofu, vegetables, lettuce, and herbs across the lower third. Fold in the sides and roll tightly; repeat to make eight rolls.
-
Step 6
Serve the salad rolls promptly with the prepared peanut dipping sauce.
