Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Vegetarian
Serves: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup tofu, crumbled
  2. 1/2 cup peanut butter
  3. 1/4 cup soy sauce
  4. 1 tablespoon lime juice
  5. 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  6. 1 package spring roll wrappers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling by crumbling the tofu into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Ensure the tofu is well-drained and slightly pressed to remove excess moisture.
  2. In the same bowl, add peanut butter, soy sauce, and lime juice. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are completely combined and create a smooth, cohesive mixture.
  3. Finely chop fresh cilantro and fold it into the tofu mixture, distributing the herbs evenly throughout the filling.
  4. Carefully separate the spring roll wrappers, keeping them covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
  5. Take each wrapper and place a small spoonful of the tofu mixture near one edge of the wrapper, creating a neat, compact portion.
  6. Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, creating a tight, sealed packet.
  7. Roll the wrapper tightly, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed and the edges are sealed.
  8. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly brush the surface with oil if desired.
  9. Place the rolled wrappers seam-side down on the heated surface, cooking until they turn golden brown and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
  10. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as sweet chili sauce or soy-lime dressing.

Tips

  1. Tofu Preparation is Key: Make sure to press and drain your tofu thoroughly. The less moisture, the crispier your rolls will be!
  2. Wrapper Wisdom: Keep your spring roll wrappers covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out and cracking during preparation.
  3. Seal Like a Pro: When folding your rolls, create tight, secure folds to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
  4. Heat Control: Use medium heat to ensure a perfect golden-brown exterior without burning the wrappers.
  5. Serving Suggestions: Elevate your dish with complementary dipping sauces like sweet chili, peanut sauce, or a zesty lime-soy dressing.
  6. Make Ahead Tip: You can prepare the rolls in advance and refrigerate them, covered, before cooking. Just bring to room temperature before frying.
  7. Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add minced garlic, ginger, or chili flakes to the tofu mixture for an extra flavor kick!
