    Vegetarian spring rolls are all about texture. Inside you have rice vermicelli, crisp vegetables, and usually some type of meat or seafood—here I used tofu. The resulting flavors and colors of the spring rolls are delicious. They do take a bit of time to make, but—believe me—it’s worth it!

    These spring rolls taste especially delicious dipped into some creamy and slightly spicy peanut sauce. Eat your rolls whole or cut them into 3–4 pieces to share! I love pairing mine with some veggie noodles or Asian soup.

    How to Make Tofu Spring Rolls

    1. Marinate tofu in the soy sauce.
    2. Soak vermicelli in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
    3. Soak rice papers one at a time for 10–25 seconds. Drain well, and place on a work surface.
    4. Arrange mint leaves, carrots, peppers, vermicelli, and tofu on a sheet of rice paper.
    5. Fold the sides of the rice paper towards the center, then roll.
    6. Cover the roll with a damp cloth and proceed with the rest of the rolls. Refrigerate rolls until ready to serve.

    Full directions for how to make Tofu Spring Rolls are in the printable recipe card below.

    Lettuce Cups

    If you want to save a bit of time, you can always use lettuce leaves instead of rice paper sheets and make this recipe into lettuce cups. Doing this will also give your meal a fresh twist!
