Ingredients
  

Crispy Tofu

  • 1 block 14 oz extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed for 20-30 minutes
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic optional
  • 2 tablespoons of avocado oil or your choice of cooking oil

Spring Roll Filling

  • 8 rice wrappers 8-inch diameter
  • 2 ounces dry vermicelli noodles
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil optional, for noodles
  • 1 large red bell pepper julienned
  • 2 Persian cucumbers julienned
  • 1½ cups finely shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 large carrot peeled and julienned
  • 8 large butter lettuce leaves or green leaf lettuce, stems trimmed
  • ⅔ cup fresh mixed herbs cilantro, basil, mint, whole or chopped
  • 2-3 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 batch peanut dipping sauce or your favorite dipping sauce

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Crispy Tofu (Optional): Cut the pressed tofu into strips. In a medium bowl, toss tofu with cornstarch, sea salt, and optional garlic powder. Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add tofu and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Cook the Noodles: Prepare the vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and drizzle with toasted sesame oil for added flavor (optional).
  • Prepare the Vegetables and Herbs: Julienne the bell pepper, cucumbers, and carrot. Shred the cabbage finely, and slice the green onions thinly. Keep the lettuce leaves whole or trim the stems as needed. Gather the fresh herbs.
  • Assemble the Spring Rolls: Fill a shallow dish with warm water and submerge a rice wrapper for about 10 seconds, or until soft and pliable. Lay it flat on a clean surface. Layer the fillings starting with a lettuce leaf, followed by a small amount of noodles, vegetables, herbs, and tofu (if using). Fold the sides over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom up to form a neat spring roll. Repeat for each roll.
  • Serve: Serve the spring rolls with a batch of peanut dipping sauce or your preferred dipping sauce. Enjoy immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.
