Ingredients

• 10 pieces rice paper sheets
• 1 cup textured vegetable protein (TVP)
• 1 cup boiling water
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 medium, grated carrot
• 1 cup, finely shredded cabbage
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 stalks, finely chopped green onions
• 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Place the textured vegetable protein (TVP) in a bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until rehydrated. Drain any excess water.

Step 2

In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the grated carrot and shredded cabbage to the pan, stirring occasionally until they soften, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the rehydrated TVP to the vegetable mixture and stir well to combine.

Step 5

Stir in the soy sauce, salt, black pepper, hoisin sauce, and chopped green onions into the mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.

Step 6

Prepare a large shallow dish or pie pan with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet into the warm water for about 5 seconds to soften.

Step 7

Place the softened rice paper on a clean, damp kitchen towel or cutting board. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the vegetable 'beef' mixture along one edge of the rice paper. Top with a sprinkle of cilantro.

Step 8

Gently fold in the sides and roll the paper tightly from the bottom to encase the filling securely, forming a roll.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining rice paper sheets and filling.

Step 10

Serve the vegetarian beef rice rolls with extra hoisin sauce or any dipping sauce of your choice.
