Ingredients
- 4 sheets tofu skin (yuba sheets)
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 stalks scallions
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 cups water (for softening tofu skin)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the vegetables by julienning the carrot, red bell pepper, and cucumber into thin strips. Slice the avocado into thin wedges. Finely chop the scallions and fresh cilantro.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, add 2 cups of warm water and submerge the tofu skin sheets for 2-3 minutes to soften. Once soft, carefully remove and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Lay one sheet of tofu skin flat on a clean surface. Arrange a small portion of the julienned carrot, red bell pepper, cucumber, avocado slices, scallions, and cilantro near the edge closest to you.
Step 4
Gently roll the tofu skin away from you, tucking in the ingredients to form a tight roll. If the edges are not sealing well, use a small dab of water to help seal the roll.
Step 5
Repeat the process with the remaining tofu skin sheets and filling ingredients to create 4 rolls in total.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to create a dipping sauce.
Step 7
Slice each tofu skin roll into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
Step 8
Serve immediately with the dipping sauce on the side for a heart-healthy, delicious appetizer or light meal.
