Equipment

1 frying pan for cooking tofu
1 knife
1 cutting board
3 plates
1 small bowl to make peanut sauce

Ingredients

8-10 rice paper wrappers brown or white
1 cup spinach tightly packed, I used Josie's Organics
1 cucumber julienned
⅓ block tofu extra-firm, pan-seared until golden brown
½ bell pepper julienned
1 avocado thinly sliced
⅓ cup purple cabbage julienned
½ cup cilantro fresh
½ cup carrots shredded
toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Peanut Sauce

2 tablespoon peanut butter creamy and natural
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sriracha or chili sauce
3 tablespoon coconut aminos
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
garlic and ginger powder sprinkle of each

Instructions

First, slice and prep all of the vegetables. Cut tofu into strips and pan sear in a non-stick pan until golden brown on each side.
Set up in an assembly line with three plates. To the first plate, add warm or hot water. Immerse rice paper wrapper in water for 5 seconds then transfer to the next plate.
On the second plate, add fillings to the center of the wrapper. Fold each side over and roll like a burrito. Wrap tightly. Add the summer roll to the third plate which is the serving plate.
Repeat process until you've used all of your fillings!
Make the peanut sauce by mixing all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.
Garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy!

Notes

Ideally, make these summer rolls fresh and eat them immediately after! They will refrigerate well for up to 24 hours. After that, the rice paper wrappers get hard.

Make sure to have all of the veggies cut up and tofu cooked before assembling! This makes preparing the summer rolls way easier.

Cut the veggies thin! The thinner you cut the veggies, the easier they will be to eat and the more you can fit into each roll.

Use warm water when soaking the rice paper wrappers. If the wrappers are ripping or breaking, you are soaking them too long! Fully immerse the wrapper in water for no longer than 10 seconds.

Garnish with sesame seeds!
