Ingredients:
- 14 oz extra-firm tofu, finely diced or crumbled
- 2 cups shredded carrots, julienned
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup thinly sliced scallions
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 10 sheets vegan rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup neutral oil for frying
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp warm water
Instructions:
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced tofu and sear until the edges are golden brown.
- Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the shredded cabbage and carrots. Toss frequently for 3–5 minutes until the vegetables have softened but still retain a slight bite.
- Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
- Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a plate. Let it cool completely to prevent the wrappers from steaming.
- Prepare the dipping sauce by whisking together peanut butter, maple syrup, sriracha, lime juice, and warm water until smooth.
- Dampen a rice paper sheet in warm water, place on a flat surface, add a portion of filling, and roll tightly.
- Heat neutral oil in a skillet and fry the rolls until the exterior is golden brown and shatteringly crisp.
- Drain on paper towels and serve with the spicy peanut-lime dip.
