Ingredients

For Almond Butter Sauce:

  • ¼ cup almond butter (or natural peanut butter)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce*
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey**
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

For Spicy Sweet and Sour Sauce:

For Veggie Spring Rolls:

  • 4 ounces thin rice noodles
  • 1 (6-ounce) package baked tofu, cut into 24 thin slices
  • 2 small red peppers, julienned
  • 2 medium carrots, julienned
  • 1 cup basil, julienned (try Thai basil, if you can find it)
  • ¾ cup mint, leaves only
  • ½ cup cilantro, leaves only
  • 1 small head butter lettuce, sliced
  • 1 package rice paper wrappers

Instructions

Prepare Almond Butter Sauce:

  • Whisk together almond butter, soy sauce, water, vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and crushed red pepper flakes until smooth. Set aside.

Prepare Spicy Sweet and Sour Sauce:

  • Whisk together vinegar, honey, and sriracha until combined. Set aside.

Prepare Spring Rolls:

  • Bring a kettle of water to a boil.
  • Place rice noodles in a large bowl; cover with boiling water. Let sit for a minimum of 2 minutes or until tender.
  • Transfer noodles to a colander, then rinse well with cold water. Drain well.
  • Using a knife, give the noodles a couple chops (so they aren't super long) and set aside.
  • Arrange tofu and vegetables on a platter or cutting board for easy assembly.

Assemble Spring Rolls:

  • Fill a large, flat pan or dish with warm water (a large skillet works well).
  • Submerge one rice paper wrapper completely in warm water. Remove from water and set on a flat surface. Let the wrapper sit for a minute or two, or until softened.
  • When the wrapper is soft, place a few cilantro or mint leaves across the center of the wrapper.
  • Top the herbs with a couple slices of tofu.
  • Top tofu with: a little red pepper; a few carrots; and a little basil, cilantro, and mint (in that order).
  • Place a small handful of rice noodles over herbs.
  • Cover the noodles with a little lettuce.
  • Roll up the rice paper wrapper (being careful not to tear it) like a burrito: fold the lower half of the wrapper over the ingredients; then fold in ends; and finally, roll up as tightly as possible.
  • Repeat process with remaining ingredients.
  • Serve Spring Rolls immediately (or store in an airtight container) with dipping sauces. Enjoy!
