Visible, textured ingredients
Method
- Cut the tofu into long strips. Heat a little rapeseed oil in a deep pan and fry the tofu for a few minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
- Season with salt and pepper, e.g. chilli salt. Set them aside for later.
- Finely chop all the vegetables. When the filling is ready, start rolling.
- Take one piece of rice paper at a time and put it in a dish of cold water. Leave it in the water for 20-30 seconds. Take up the rice paper and place it where you want to roll, for example on a large, clean cutting board.
- Place the filling in a pile on the middle of the rice paper with cabbage as a base. This makes it easier to roll a uniform spring roll. Roll one end of the rice paper over the filling. Fold the rice paper inwards on both sides and then roll up into a roll.
- Slice the rolls into smaller lengths and arrange on a dish with optional lime wedges.
- Serve with soya sauce and goma dressing.
