  • 1/2 cup each julienne carrots, red pepper, and cucumber
  • 1 bunch of fresh cilantro
  • 1 bunch of fresh mint
  • 4 ounces vermicelli or rice noodles (the thinner the better)
  • 8-10 Rice Spring Roll Papers

Crispy Tofu

  • 8 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained and thoroughly dried/pressed
  • 4 Tbsp sesame oil, divided
  • 3 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2.5 Tbsp almond butter dipping sauce
  • 1 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar or agave nectar

Directions for Crispy Tofu Spring Rolls

  1. Prepare rice noodles in boiling hot water for about 10 minutes, drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cut pressed tofu into small rectangles. Toss in 3 Tbsp cornstarch and flash fry in 3 Tbsp sesame oil, flip on all sides to ensure even browning – about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Prep veggies and almond butter sauce by adding all ingredients except water to a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Add enough hot water to thin until a pourable sauce is achieved. Adjust flavors as needed.
  4. To add more flavor to the tofu, add an additional Tablespoon each of soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar and whisk to combine.
  5. Add tofu back to the skillet over medium heat and add “sauce/glaze,” stir. Cook for several minutes until all of the sauce is absorbed and the tofu looks glazed. Set aside with prepared veggies and vermicelli noodles.
  6. Pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse rice paper to soften for about 10-15 seconds.
  7. Transfer to a damp cutting board or a damp towel and gently spread out edges into a circle.
  8. To the bottom third of the wrapper add a small handful of vermicelli noodles and layer carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, fresh herbs, and 2-3 pieces of tofu on top. Gently fold over once, tuck in edges, and continue rolling until the seam is sealed.
  9. Place seam-side down on a serving platter and cover with a damp warm towel.
  10. Serve with almond butter sauce, sriracha, or hot sauce.
