Ingredients
- 12 sheets Rice paper wrappers
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 100 grams Bean sprouts
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 12 small Lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
Directions
Step 1
Cut the firm tofu into thin strips. Heat the sesame oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Step 2
Peel the carrot and slice into thin matchsticks. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and slice it into thin sticks. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
Step 3
Prepare all your filling ingredients by arranging them neatly on a large plate or platter: cooled tofu, carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, bean sprouts, mint leaves, cilantro leaves, and lettuce.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, low sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create your dipping sauce. Set aside.
Step 5
Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10 seconds until it softens but is still slightly firm. Remove from the water and lay flat on a clean, damp cloth.
Step 6
Place a lettuce leaf in the center of the rice paper. Add a small amount of each filling ingredient: tofu strips, carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, bean sprouts, and a few mint and cilantro leaves.
Step 7
Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly, and finally roll it up to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining rice paper wrappers and ingredients.
Step 8
Serve the rice paper rolls with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy these fresh, low sodium delights!
