Tofu Spring Rolls with Mango and Avocado
When the weather starts heating up, we like to serve these fresh tofu spring rolls with avocado and mango. They're quick (ready in just 30 minutes), easy, and the only cooking required is some water heated in a tea kettle.

Ingredients
- 6 ounces of rice noodles
- 14 to 16 ounces of firm tofu drained
- 1 ripe mango
- 1 English cucumber
- 1 ripe avocado
- Handful of basil
- Handful of cilantro
- 6 ounces of rice paper spring roll wrappers
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
- Ingredient prep. It’s important to prep all the ingredients in advance of starting to roll.
- Thin, small pieces. The spring rolls will be easier to roll if all the ingredients are cut into small pieces.
- Don’t overfill. If you put too many ingredients inside they will be more difficult to roll and may even burst apart.
- Work with the rice paper one at a time. The paper is delicate and working slowly is the best approach.
- Be patient. Rice paper can be a little tricky at the start but with a little practice, it gets easier.
- Store leftovers. These avocado spring rolls are best served immediately. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container covered with a damp paper towel for up to three days. The rice paper may become more brittle or soggy the longer they sit.
