Description - Step 1

Prepare the Tofu

Pat tofu slices dry with a kitchen towel. Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium flame. Fry the tofu until golden and crisp on both sides, around 3–4 minutes per side. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with soy sauce while warm. Let them cool, then cut into 1 cm-wide strips.

Assemble the Rice Paper Rolls

Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet for about 5 seconds until soft and pliable. Lay it on a damp surface. Then, place lettuce near the base, followed by noodles, tofu, carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, and a few mint, basil, and coriander leaves. Now, fold the bottom edge over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Repeat with the rest.
