Tofu Fried Spring Rolls
Cooking Time: 20min
Serving: 1 servings
INGREDIENTS:
- Rice paper wrappers
- 1 package of firm tofu, pressed and sliced into thin strips
- 1 Carrot, julienned
- 4 Mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- Scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
- Tabasco sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- Pepper, Salt to taste
- Handful of parsley
INSTRUCTIONS:
-
Prepare all the ingredients by shredding tofu, carrot, thinly slicing the mushrooms, onion, and scallions, and chopping the parsley.
-
In a frying pan, add shredded tofu, onion and carrot and fry until soften (5-10min). Then add mushrooms, scallions, soy sauce, Tabasco sauce (if desired), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Fry for another 5min.
-
Fill a large shallow dish or a wide bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for a few seconds until it becomes pliable. Lay the softened rice paper on a clean surface.
-
Place a small amount of the tofu and vegetable mixture in the center of the rice paper.
-
Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it tightly to form a spring roll. Repeat this process with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling.
-
Heat some oil in a skillet or deep fryer over medium heat. Carefully place the spring rolls into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can brush the spring rolls with oil and bake them in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes until they are crispy.
-
Once the spring rolls are cooked, remove them from the oil or oven and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
-
Serve the tofu fried spring rolls with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as sweet chili sauce, peanut sauce, or soy sauce mixed with lime juice.
