Vegan Mofo! Vegetable and tofu rice paper wraps
Dinner, Sunday October 18, 2009.
Rice paper wraps are a great meal- quick and easy, infinitely variable. They are fun to serve to guests because everyone can choose their own combinations of fillings. Tonight we had tofu sauteed with garlic, chile paste, and hoisin sauce, mixed greens, scallions, cucumbers, lime wedges for squeezing, and shredded carrots. Also (not pictured) chopped basil, crushed peanuts, and more hoisin and chile sauce for dipping. You could use any number of different things as filling- seitan, bean sprouts, spinach, shiitake mushrooms…It’s actually a great thing for when you’ve got a lot of random vegetables around that you don’t know what to do with. And if you want to make a raw version of this you can use big lettuce leaves as the wrappers instead of the rice paper skins.
I didn’t get a picture of the rolls themselves, oops!
