Ingredients
Peanut Dipping Sauce
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Thai Kitchen red curry paste
- ½ cup coconut milk or Lite coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons low sodium gluten free tamari
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Tofu Spring Rolls
- 14 oz sprouted firm tofu drained and pressed
- 4 rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup spinach or lettuce
- ¼ cup mint
- ¼ cup cilantro
- coconut spray oil or olive oil
- 2 cups water to soak the wrappers
Instructions
Peanut Dipping Sauce
- Mix all ingredients with a whisk or fork until blended.
Tofu Spring Rolls
- Slice tofu into squares. I like to turn the tofu so that it is standing up, then I slice it into thirds. Then I lay it flat and slice into fourths. This way you have 12 tofu squares, which is easier to flip on the frying pan.
- Spray frying pan with coconut spray oil and fry tofu until golden brown. Cut tofu into smaller chunks, or crumble. Set aside.
- Heat 2 cups of water in microwave or on stovetop until hot to the touch (approx. 3 ½ min.).
- After water is heated, put the water in a large enough container to hold the rice paper wraps.
- Dip one of the wrappers in the water, turning until it is pliable.
- Put the wrapper flat on a plate and fill with ¼ each of the above amounts of the cilantro, mint, spinach, and tofu.
- Roll like you would a burrito, folding two of the sides in, then the other two.
- Repeat with each wrapper.
- Serve with Peanut Dipping Sauce.
Notes
If you want to make these ahead of time, you can do one of two things. If you are going to eat the spring rolls later in the day, you can place a wet towel over the spring rolls.
Keep the spring rolls away from heat.
If you are going to eat your spring rolls the next day, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. This option is perfect for brown bagging it to work.
The peanut sauce can be made a couple of days in advance.
