Ingredients

  • 3 oz rice noodles
  • 8 rice paper wraps
  • 6 oz block smoked tofu, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • ¾ cup shredded carrots
  • ¾ cup sliced red cabbage
  • 1/3 English cucumber, sliced
  • 1 small yellow, orange or red bell pepper, sliced
  • Sesame seeds, for sprinkling

Peanut Dipping Sauce

  • 1/3 cup thick all natural peanut butter
  • 3 TBS rice vinegar
  • 2 TBS reduced sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1-2 tsp chili paste
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package directions. The noodles should be soft, not al dente so they are easy to bite off.
  2. Set out a skillet or pie plate with warm water. Working one at a time, dip the edges of the rice paper wrap into the warm water, rotating until the entire wrap is softened. It is best if it is still somewhat stiff and not drooping over on itself so you can lay it on a clean surface such as a plate or cutting board.
  3. On the edge of the wrapper closest to you, line up about ½ cup vegetables, followed by cooked rice noodles and sliced tofu (Image 1). Sprinkle the wrapper with sesame seeds and fold the edge closest to you up and over the vegetables (Image 2). Fold in the sides (Image 3) and roll to close (Image 4). Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  4. Let the summer rolls rest while you prepare the peanut dipping sauce. In a medium bowl mix together the peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce or tamari, chili paste and garlic. Add water to thin to taste if necessary. The thicker the peanut butter, the more water you will need to make a dippable consistency.
  5. Serve the summer rolls with the dipping sauce.
  6. To store: wrap any leftover rolls tightly in plastic wrap and eat within 24-48 hours.

Notes

Cooking time will vary based on the type of noodle you get. I got rice vermicelli and it took 15 minutes to cook. Thin rice noodles or fine rice vermicelli usually take less time, more like 5 minutes.
