RECIPE : vegan summer rolls

here it is - my HOW TO MAKE SUMMER ROLLS video !one of my favourite foods for sure, i could eat these every day.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tax_G7OnzAnormally they're filled with vermicelli/glass noodles besides from the veggies, but i always make them without noodles to make more room for the other stuff. in my opinion you don't need the noodles. but hey - go noodle crazy if you want !summer rolls full recipe:(how much you need of everything is basically up to your own preferences. so i'm just going to give you some suggestions)- rice paper- filling in this video: tofu, white and purple cabbage, red onion, red bell pepper, cucumber, carrot, mint, chives- other filling suggestions: mushrooms, chopped hazelnuts ( yum ! ), coriander, lettuce, avocado, bean sprouts, spring onion, noodles- dipping sauce: light soy sauce/tamari, ginger, garlic, chiliinstructions:- cut the tofu into small rectangular squares- heat a pan with some sea salt, and a tiny bit of oil if needed- fry the tofu on two sides until golden- chop your favourite veggies into long thin strips- boil water, and mix with cold water in a bowl. it should be hot, but not hot enough to burn your hands- dip a rice paper in the water for 10-15 secs. if you dip them too long, they'll rip and tear when you fold them- place rice paper on a cutting board or plate. place your fillings on the bottom half of your rice paper (if you're using square rice papers, i prefer placing one of the tips down on the cutting board, like a diamond shape)- first roll the bottom half tightly- halfway up the paper, fold in the sides- roll all the way up. you can add some herbs at this stage (like we've done with chives in the video)- mince or grate garlic and ginger, chop chili. place in a small bowl- fill up with light soy sauce (and i normally add lemon juice or rice vinegar too ! you can of course make another dipping sauce, for example peanut sauce. i like this one because it's easy to make and it's low-fat)- start dipping !music in video: www.bensound.comsummerrolls4summerrolls8summerrolls6
