Ingredients

• 12 pieces rice paper wrappers
• 100 grams vermicelli noodles
• 200 grams firm tofu
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 6 large lettuce leaves
• 1/3 cup peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons warm water

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

Step 2

Drain and pat dry the firm tofu with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into thin strips and set aside.

Step 3

Thinly slice the red bell pepper, carrot, and cucumber into long, easy-to-assemble strips.

Step 4

Prepare the fresh herbs by rinsing the mint and cilantro leaves and gently patting them dry.

Step 5

Using a cutting board, slice the large lettuce leaves in half, removing any tough stems.

Step 6

To make the peanut dipping sauce, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, sesame oil, and warm water in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust consistency with more water if needed.

Step 7

Fill a wide, shallow dish with warm water. Take one rice paper wrapper and soak it in the warm water for 15-20 seconds until soft and pliable; carefully remove and lay it flat on a clean surface like a cutting board.

Step 8

Place a small amount of noodles, 2-3 strips of each vegetable, 2 slices of tofu, a couple of mint and cilantro leaves, and half a lettuce leaf just below the center of the wrapper.

Step 9

Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides snugly. Continue to roll up tightly to form a neat roll, much like a burrito. Repeat with remaining wrappers and ingredients.

Step 10

Serve the rolls with the peanut dipping sauce on the side for a fresh and delicious meal or appetizer.
