Ingredients
Rainbow Rice Paper Wraps
- 16-oz. extra firm tofu, sliced into strips
- 16 rice paper wraps
- 1 English cucumber, julienned
- 1 bell pepper, julienned
- 1–2 carrots, julienned
- 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded
- 3–4 radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
- Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
Black Sesame Sauce
- 1/3 cup Eden Foods Black Sesame Butter
- 1 TBSP Tamari Lite
- 1/2 TBSP maple syrup
- 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
- 1 TBSP lime juice
- ~1/4 cup filtered water (to thin)
For Serving
- black sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the sliced tofu to the lined baking sheet. Transfer the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the tofu is golden brown on the edges and slightly firm to the touch.
- Prepare the Black Sesame Sauce. Add all of the ingredients to a small mixing bowl and whisk everything with a fork to combine. Add the filtered water as needed to thin out the mixture. You want it to be thick but pourable.
- Prepare the rice paper wraps. Add warm water to a large mixing bowl. Completely submerge the rice paper wrap in the warm water and allow it to soak for 10-15 seconds, until the rice paper is pliable to the touch.
- Transfer the soaked rice paper to a cutting board or plate to assemble the wraps. Add the julienned vegetables, baked tofu, avocado, and cilantro to the wraps in a thin layer. Fold in the sides and roll the rice paper wrap up like a burrito.
- Repeat this process until all of the rice paper wraps are used up.
- Transfer the wraps to a plate and serve them with black sesame seeds and black sesame sauce.
- Store the leftover ingredients separately and reassemble the wraps before serving. Leftover assembled wraps will keep in the refrigerator for 1-2 days but are best when fresh.
