Ingredients
- FOR THE ROLLS:
- 1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
- 1 cup julienned jicama
- 1/2 cup mint leaves
- 12 rice paper spring-roll wrappers
- 1 16-ounce block firm tofu, pressed and cut into 3x1-inch strips
- FOR THE PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free, low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- First, set up your workstation: Fill a 12-inch pie plate with boiling water. Place a cutting board next to it to assemble the spring rolls. Place the prepared cabbage, jicama, mint and tofu in bowls nearby.
- Soften spring-roll wrappers one at a time in the slightly cooled water for about 10 seconds or less. They will turn translucent and be pliable. Lift wrapper out of the water, allowing excess water to drip back into the pie plate. Lay wrapper flat on the cutting board.
- Fill the bottom third of each wrapper with several mint leaves, a tofu strip and 1-2 tablespoons each of the jicama and cabbage. Don't overstuff. Roll wrapper like a burrito, tucking the top and bottom in and pulling the sides tight. The wrappers stick to themselves to seal the edges.
- For the peanut sauce, in a blender, combine all sauce ingredients except green onions; process until creamy. Transfer sauce to small dipping bowls. Garnish sauce with green onions.
