Ingredients

  • 1 block extra firm tofu, drained, pressed dry and sliced into thin cubes
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 small lime, juiced with seeds removed
  • 3 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
  • 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup warm water more if needed for consistency
  • 4 ounces Vermicelli rice noodles
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
  • 6 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 serrano or jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 small small green or purple cabbage, cut into thin slices
  • 8 rice paper sheets
  • 8 large hearts of romaine

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Grease the baking sheet with the coconut oil and arrange the tofu to allow the pieces to bake evenly. Bake the tofu for 30 minutes or until golden.
  • While the tofu is cooking, make the sauce: combine the peanut butter, hoisin sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and water in a small bowl, whisking until combined. Set aside.
  • Prepare the noodles, rinse with cold water, drain, and set aside.
  • Thinly slice the cilantro leaves, carrots, peppers and cabbage.
  • To prepare the rolls, clear an area and set up stations with: dry rice paper, warm/hot water (not so hot you can’t put your hands in it), lettuce, tofu, vegetables, noodles and sauce.

Assemble the rolls

  • Dip the rice paper in water and let it drip dry. Place the wrapper on a flat surface with the lettuce in the center, add the tofu, vegetables, noodles and sauce and wrap up one side, tuck in the ends and roll up like a burrito. Cover the rolls with a damp paper towel.
  • Once prepared, store the rolls in an airtight container to prevent drying and cracking.
