Ingredients

• 12 pieces rice paper wrappers
• 100 grams vermicelli noodles
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 large carrot
• 1 small cucumber
• 200 grams firm tofu
• 30 grams fresh mint leaves
• 30 grams fresh cilantro
• 6 pieces lettuce leaves
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 medium lime
• 3 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon sriracha
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water, then set aside.

Step 2

Cut the red bell pepper, carrot, and cucumber into thin matchsticks. Set aside.

Step 3

Slice the firm tofu into thin strips. In a non-stick pan, fry the tofu over medium heat until golden on all sides, approximately 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

Prepare the dipping sauce by mixing the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, sriracha, sugar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Add water gradually until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 5

Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10 seconds or until it becomes pliable, but not too soft.

Step 6

Lay the softened rice paper wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a piece of lettuce in the center, leaving room at the edges to fold. Arrange a small handful of vermicelli noodles, a few strips each of red bell pepper, carrot, cucumber, and tofu on top of the lettuce.

Step 7

Add a few mint leaves and cilantro sprigs for flavor.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then gently roll it up tightly from bottom to top to create a neat roll.

Step 9

Repeat the filling and rolling process for the remaining rice paper wrappers.

Step 10

Serve the fresh summer rolls with the dipping sauce on the side.
