Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare all the ingredients for the rolls by slicing the tofu, julienned the carrot and cucumber, and thinly slicing the red bell pepper.
-
Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one sheet of rice paper into the water, making sure it is fully submerged for about 10-15 seconds until it softens.
-
Lay the softened rice paper flat on a clean surface. In the center of the rice paper, place a lettuce leaf followed by a few tofu strips, carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, bean sprouts, mint leaves, and cilantro leaves.
-
Carefully fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it up tightly, similar to a burrito.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients until all the rice paper sheets are used up.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the sauce.
-
Serve the rice paper rolls with the dipping sauce on the side. You can sprinkle sesame seeds on top for an extra burst of flavor.
