Vietnamese-Style Summer Rolls

Vietnamese-style summer rolls are a light and refreshing dish that is perfect for hot summer days. They are made with thin rice paper wrappers filled with a variety of fillings such as shrimp, pork, vermicelli noodles, herbs, and vegetables. The rolls are then rolled up and served cold with a dipping sauce. The combination of the fresh ingredients and the lightness of the wrapper make these rolls a popular snack or appetizer. They are also vegan-friendly, making them a great option for a variety of diets. Vietnamese-style summer rolls are a great way to enjoy the flavors of Southeast Asia without the heavy, greasy feel of traditional fried dishes.

Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 8 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained, pressed, and diced small
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 8 8-inch rice paper wrappers

Directions

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Step 2
    In a medium bowl, mix together the tofu, olive oil, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper.
  • Step 3
    Spread the tofu mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until the tofu is lightly golden and crispy.
  • Step 4
    Remove the baking sheet from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Step 5
    In a large bowl, combine the carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, cilantro, and mint. Add the cooled tofu and mix until everything is evenly combined.
  • Step 6
    Fill a large bowl or plate with warm water.

    Submerge one rice paper wrapper in the warm water for 30 seconds, or until it's soft and pliable.
