Tofu and Avocado Rice Paper Rolls
Ingredients:
– 8 rice paper wrappers
– 1 block of firm tofu, drained and sliced into thin strips
– 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced
– 1 medium carrot, julienned
– 1 cucumber, julienned
– 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
– Handful of fresh mint leaves
– Handful of fresh cilantro leaves
– Soy sauce or tamari, for dipping
Instructions:
1. Prepare all your ingredients and have them ready within arm’s reach before you start assembling the rolls. Fill a large shallow bowl with warm water.
2. Submerge a rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 15-20 seconds until it softens. Carefully remove it from the water and lay it on a clean, flat surface.
3. Place a few strips of tofu in the center of the rice paper, leaving some space at the edges. Add a couple of avocado slices on top of the tofu.
4. Layer some julienned carrots, cucumber, and bell pepper on top of the tofu and avocado. Top with a few mint and cilantro leaves for extra freshness.
5. Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly, similar to wrapping a burrito.
6. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make more rolls.
7. Once all the rolls are assembled, slice them in half diagonally for a beautiful presentation if desired.
8. Serve the tofu and avocado rice paper rolls with soy sauce or tamari on the side for dipping. Enjoy the fresh flavors and crunchy textures!
