Tofu Spring Rolls with Mango and Avocado
Description
This recipe involves soaking rice noodles until tender, slicing firm tofu, ripe mango, cucumber, and avocado into thin pieces, and finely chopping basil and cilantro. The rice paper wrappers are briefly soaked in warm water to soften, then filled with small amounts of each ingredient arranged neatly to facilitate rolling and prevent bursting. As the rice paper is delicate, working one roll at a time is advised.
The combination of sweet mango and creamy avocado paired with tofu and fresh herbs creates a light, refreshing roll that balances textures and flavors. The fresh herbs add brightness while the noodles provide bulk without heaviness. The rolls have a soft, pliable texture from the moistened wrappers.
These spring rolls are best served immediately but can be stored in an airtight container lined with a damp paper towel for up to three days. Careful preparation of thin, small pieces and moderate filling helps achieve rolls that hold together well without tearing.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces rice noodles
- 14 to 16 ounces tofu drained, firm
- 1 Mango ripe
- 1 English cucumber
- 1 avocado ripe
- basil handful
- cilantro handful
- 6 ounces rice paper spring roll wrapper
Instructions
- Cook rice noodles according to package OR place in dish, pour boiling water to cover, and allow to soften for 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
- In the meantime, cut tofu, mango, cucumber, and avocado into thin slices.
- Chop herbs.
- Fill a wide, shallow dish with warm water to soak rice wrappers in.
- Assemble rolls one at a time. Start by soaking the rice wrapper in warm water until softened (this will only take a few seconds). Place a slice or two of tofu, mango, cucumber, and avocado in the middle of the wrapper, about ⅓ of the way from the bottom. Top with a small handful of rice noodles. Sprinkle with a large pinch of basil and cilantro. Roll the spring roll as you would a burrito.
Notes
- Prepare all filling ingredients before starting to roll for efficient assembly.
- Cut ingredients into thin, small pieces to ease rolling and prevent bursting.
- Do not overfill rolls; moderate filling makes rolling easier and maintains shape.
- Work with one rice paper wrapper at a time due to delicate nature of the wrapper.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container covered with a damp paper towel to maintain moisture for up to three days; texture may change over time.
