Ingredients

    • 2 large lettuce leaves
    • ½ English cucumber
    • 2 medium carrots (or pre-shredded carrots)
    • 2 handfuls shredded red cabbage (pre-shredded)
    • 7 oz extra-firm tofu
    • 2 teaspoons sesame oil (or olive oil)
    • 8 rice paper sheets
    • 2 handfuls fresh cilantro (optional)
    • 3 tablespoons peanut butter
    • 3 tablespoons tamari (or gluten-free soy sauce)
    • 2 tablespoons lime juice
    • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
    • ¼ teaspoon ginger powder
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
    • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Slice the tofu into 0.5-inch sticks and pan-fry in sesame oil over medium-high heat for about 1 minute per side until golden and crispy. Set aside.
  2. Wash the lettuce leaves. Cut the cucumber and carrots into thin sticks or use a julienne peeler.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, tamari, lime juice, maple syrup, ginger powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Add water to thin the sauce until smooth and pourable.
  4. Dip each rice paper sheet in lukewarm water for about 15 seconds. Place two sheets overlapping on a damp surface to form a square.
  5. Layer lettuce, cucumber, carrots, red cabbage, tofu, and cilantro in the center. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly into a large spring roll.
  6. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients and serve with dipping sauce.

Notes

    • Use a damp surface to prevent rice paper from sticking.
    • Rolls are best eaten fresh but can be stored for up to 2 days.
    • Customize fillings with other vegetables, herbs, or proteins.
    • Try almond butter or tahini if allergic to peanuts.
    • No reheating needed—serve chilled or at room temperature.
