Ingredients

• 12 pieces rice paper wrappers
• 100 grams vermicelli rice noodles
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 large avocado
• 1 bunch fresh mint leaves
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves
• 6 pieces lettuce leaves
• 200 grams tofu (firm)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 3 tablespoons peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons warm water
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 small garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cooking the vermicelli rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.

Step 2

Slice the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin strips. Halve and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips.

Step 3

Take a medium saucepan and heat it over medium heat. Cut the tofu into thin strips and add them to the pan. Drizzle with soy sauce and cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Prepare the dipping sauce by combining the peanut butter, warm water, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Step 5

Fill a shallow dish or pie plate with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds, or until softened. Remove and lay flat on a clean, damp kitchen towel.

Step 6

On the bottom third of the wrapper, place a piece of lettuce, then add a small amount of vermicelli noodles, carrot slices, cucumber strips, bell pepper strips, a slice of avocado, a couple of pieces of tofu, and a few mint and cilantro leaves.

Step 7

To roll, fold the sides inward over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom to the top, enclosing the fillings completely. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and fillings.

Step 8

Place the finished rolls seam-side down on a serving platter. Before serving, sprinkle with crushed peanuts and serve with the peanut dipping sauce.
