Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cabbage chopped thinly
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and cut into strips or grated for easy filling
  • 1 cup spinach chopped, can be omitted if unavailable or substituted with other greens
  • 8 oz tofu firm or extra-firm, pressed and chopped thinly
  • 2 tbsp tamari sauce or soy sauce for a gluten-free option
  • 10 pieces rice paper wrappers standard size, ensure they are fresh and pliable
  • 3 tbsp olive oil divided, for sautéing and frying
  • 0.5 tsp hot paprika adjust to your preferred spice level
  • 3 cloves garlic minced, divided for two stages of cooking
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated, for aromatic depth
  • 2 pieces scallions chopped, for a fresh oniony note and garnish

Equipment

  • Nonstick Pan
  • Flat Surface

Method
 

  1. Sauté the chopped tofu in a nonstick pan with a little olive oil and hot paprika until it turns golden brown.
  2. Add the thinly chopped cabbage, carrots, spinach (if using), most of the minced garlic, grated ginger, and tamari sauce to the pan. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes until vegetables start to soften.
  3. Stir in the chopped scallions and the remaining minced garlic. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mixture is fragrant.
  4. Prepare the rice paper wrappers by soaking them individually in warm water until they are softened and pliable. Lay each softened wrapper on a clean, flat surface, spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the vegetable and tofu filling onto the center, and wrap tightly to form a spring roll.
  5. Heat a shallow layer of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the prepared spring rolls until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  6. Serve the golden spring rolls immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili or peanut sauce.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms. For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling. These spring rolls are best enjoyed fresh.
