Last night, we ate at a Thai restaurant where they made the most delicious salad rolls. For anyone who has never tasted a 'salad roll' before, they are fresh veggie rolls wrapped in rice paper. Lucky for me, they are not only tasty, but ridiculously easy to make. So today for lunch I'm going to made homemade tofu salad rolls.
Ingredients
- Rice paper sheets (found in every grocery store- and super cheap!)
- Firm Tofu
- Sesame seeds
- grated carrots
- Romaine lettuce
- Brussels Sprouts
- Lime
- Frank's Hot sauce (optional)
Directions
Prepare your vegetables and tofu first. Cut the lettuce and grate the carrots. Slice the tofu in 1/3 inch thick slices. Boil water. Drop the rice papers into the water and after about 10-15 seconds take them out using a spoon. This can be a little tricky because the rice paper will stick to itself. Place it onto a plate or counter top and using your hands, pull it open. In the centre place your tofu, lettuce, sprouts, carrots, sprinkle sesame seeds, drizzle lime juice and hot sauce. Fold the edges over and roll it into a cylinder/spring roll shape. I like to use at least two rice paper sheets per salad roll.
Once you've made all your rolls, enjoy them with some peanut sauce or on their own.
