Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cabbage, chopped thinly
- 2 carrots, cut thinly in strips (or roughly grated)
- 8 oz (200g) tofu, chopped thinly
- 1 tsp hot paprika or chili powder
- 2 tbsp tamari sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
- 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
- 3 scallions, thinly chopped
- 1 cup spinach (optional), chopped
- 10 rice paper wrappers
Instructions
- Prep the ingredients: Start by washing and chopping all your vegetables. Having everything prepped makes rolling a breeze!
- Sauté the tofu: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped tofu and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until it’s golden brown. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger during the last minute of cooking for a fragrant finish.
- Mix it up: In a large bowl, combine the sautéed tofu with the thinly sliced cabbage, carrot strips, scallions, spinach, tamari sauce, hot paprika, and remaining olive oil. Gently toss everything together until well coated.
- Soften the rice papers: Fill a large bowl with warm water and dip one rice paper wrapper in for about 10-15 seconds until it softens.
- Start rolling: Place the softened wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the veggie-tofu filling onto the lower third of the wrapper. Fold the sides over the filling, then tuck the bottom over the filling and roll away from you.
- Repeat: Continue the rolling process until you use up all your filling and wrappers.
- Serve: Place the rolls on a platter. Serve with homemade peanut sauce or a simple dipping sauce made of tamari and a dash of vinegar.
