VIETNAMESE SALAD ROLLS

These are a favourite "fast food" around our house.  They are easy, healthy and delicious!  



Ingredients
Rice paper
Brown rice vermicelli 
lettuce, kale, spinach and/or sprouts
whole green onions
avocado, sliced thinly
mango, sliced thinly
cucumber, sliced thinly
carrots, grated or julienned 
cilantro, chopped
firm tofu, marinated and sliced 
white or black sesame seeds
dressing (miso salad dressing or 
spicy peanut sauce)












Directions:  
1.  If using, marinate the tofu.
2.  Wash and prepare all your vegetables/fruit.  
3.  Put about 5-10 cm warm water in the bottom of a bowl or pan. Dip one rice paper into the bowl for about 5 seconds.  Turn it over and soak for 5 more seconds.  Place the paper on your work surface.  It will get softer.  
4.  Place your noodles and other filling ingredients on the third of the rice paper nearest you.  Make a pile about 3-4 cm high and wide.  Leave space on the edges to fold the paper in.  
5.  Carefully fold in one or two edges.  Roll the paper nearest you over the filling ingredients and continue rolling pressing gently as you roll.  










6. Serve with miso salad dressing or spicy Asian nut sauce (see other blog posts!).
