Vegetarian Spring Rolls

Step 1

Cook the 4 oz vermicelli noodles in boiling water until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

Slice the 8 oz tofu into thin strips and the 1 carrot and 1 red bell pepper into matchsticks. Pat the tofu dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

Dip one rice paper wrapper in warm water for 5 seconds until pliable. Lay it flat and place a few noodles, tofu, carrot, bell pepper, and cilantro leaves in the center.

Step 4

Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 5

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as hoisin or peanut sauce.
