Ingredients You Will Need:
The Filling:
1 pack of firm tofu
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 small carrot, julienned
1 small cucumber, julienned
1 small red bell pepper, julienned
1 cup of bean sprouts
1 cup of shredded cabbage
1/4 cup of chopped fresh herbs (such as cilantro, mint, and basil)
1/4 cup of chopped peanuts
The Dipping Sauce:
1/4 cup of hoisin sauce
1/4 cup of peanut butter
2 tablespoons of water
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 clove of garlic, minced
Instructions:
Preparation:
Start by pressing the tofu to remove any excess water. Place the tofu between two paper towels and place a heavy object (such as a pot or cookbook) on top. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
Cut the tofu into thin slices and then into 1-inch strips. Set aside.
Prepare all the vegetables and herbs by washing, peeling, and chopping them. Place them in separate bowls for easy assembly.
Making the Filling:
In a pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and tofu strips, and cook until the tofu is lightly browned.
Add the julienned carrots, cucumber, and red bell pepper to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Remove the pan from heat and let the filling cool for a few minutes.
Assembling the Spring Rolls:
Fill a large bowl or pan with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in the water for 5-10 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable.
Place the wrapper on a clean surface and add a small amount of each ingredient in the center - tofu filling, bean sprouts, cabbage, fresh herbs, and chopped peanuts.
Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients until you have used them all up.
Making the Dipping Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together the hoisin sauce, peanut butter, water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and minced garlic until well combined.
Adjust the flavors to your liking by adding more water for a thinner consistency, more soy sauce for saltiness, or more sugar for sweetness.
Serving:
Serve the spring rolls with the dipping sauce on the side for dipping.
You can also add shrimp or pork to the filling if desired, or make a separate batch for those who prefer a non-vegetarian option.
