Ingredients
Instructions
-
Step 1
Cook glass noodles according to package.
In a medium pan, lightly fry the tofu in the soy-sauce until brown. Place cooked pieces on a paper towel.
-
Step 2
Set out the rest of your ingredients in an easily accessible manner to build your spring rolls.
Dip a piece of rice paper into a plate of lukewarm water quickly. In and out is the way to go. Do not let it become soft in the water. As you set the wet piece onto a plate or cutting board, let it sit until it becomes soft and malleable (about one minute).
-
Step 3
Once your rice paper is ready, you can add your ingredients. For example, one or two pieces of matchstick tofu, some of the julienned cucumber, a handful of lettuce, a bit of glass noodle, and two basil leaves. You can add and subtract to your tastes.
Make sure your fillings are in the middle of the sheet.
-
Step 4
After you add your fillings, wrap the roll like a burrito. Take one end of the paper and fold in over the fillings, then take both left and right sides of the piece and fold them over the filling as well. Then roll the filling and folded pieces until you reach the end of the rice paper.
Serve immediately with your dipping sauce of choice and enjoy!
