Equipment

1 cutting board
1 knife
1 bowl
1 plate
1 pan

Ingredients

8-10 rice paper wrappers brown or white rice wrappers
1 cup spinach tightly packed - I use 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 tbsp peanut butter
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sriracha or chili sauce
3 tablespoon coconut aminos
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil omit if you're oil-free
garlic and ginger 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.
You need three plates. Set up in an assembly line. Add warm or hot water to one of the plates. Immerse rice paper wrapper in water for 5 seconds then transfer to the next 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 as this 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.
Garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to have all of the vegetables cut up and tofu cooked before assembling! This makes preparing the easy vegan summer rolls way easier.
Cut the vegetables thin! The thinner the better. 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 breaking, you are soaking them too long! Fully immerse it in water for no longer than 15 seconds.
Garnish with sesame seeds, it makes it so yummy!
