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

    In a medium bowl, mix together the tofu, olive oil, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper.

    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.
