Ingredients

• 8 sheets Rice paper wrappers
• 100 g Vermicelli rice noodles
• 100 g Mixed salad greens
• 1 large, julienned Carrot
• 0.5 large, julienned Cucumber
• 0.5 large, julienned Red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 200 g, sliced into thin strips Firm tofu
• 2 tbsp Low sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Honey
• 1 tsp Grated ginger
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tbsp Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

To make the dipping sauce, combine low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, lime juice, and water in a small bowl. Adjust the flavors if necessary, ensuring it is to your liking.

Step 3

Prepare your workspace with a large bowl of warm water for softening the rice paper wrappers.

Step 4

Take a sheet of rice paper and dip it into the warm water for about 15-20 seconds until soft and pliable, then lay it flat on a clean, damp kitchen towel.

Step 5

At one end of the rice paper wrapper, place a small handful of salad greens, a portion of vermicelli noodles, and a few slices each of carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, mint leaves, basil leaves, and tofu strips.

Step 6

Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to the top, creating a snug roll. The rice paper will naturally seal itself as you roll. Repeat for all wrappers.

Step 7

Once all summer rolls are prepared, serve them immediately with the prepared low sodium dipping sauce on the side.
