Fresh Vietnamese Tofu and Herb Parcels

These vibrant Vietnamese parcels, also known as summer rolls or Gỏi Cuốn, are packed with crispy pan-fried tofu, fresh herbs, and crunchy vegetables. Wrapped in translucent rice paper, they offer a perfect balance of textures and are served with a rich and savory hoisin-peanut dipping sauce.

Ingredients

12 sheets rice paper (8.5 inch diameter)
14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cut into strips
1 tbsp vegetable oil
4 oz thin rice vermicelli noodles
1 cup fresh mint leaves
1 cup fresh cilantro sprigs
1 large carrot, julienned or shredded
1 English cucumber, julienned
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp warm water
1 tsp crushed peanuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions (usually 3-5 minutes), drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside to dry.

  2. 2

    Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu strips and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare a large shallow bowl of warm water. Dip one sheet of rice paper into the water for about 5-10 seconds until just pliable, then lay it flat on a clean surface or damp towel.

  4. 4

    Place a small handful of mint and cilantro on the bottom third of the rice paper to ensure the herbs are visible when rolled.

  5. 5

    Top the herbs with a few strips of fried tofu, a small bundle of vermicelli noodles, some cucumber sticks, and shredded carrot.

  6. 6

    Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling. Fold in the left and right sides tightly, then roll upwards to seal the parcel completely.

  7. 7

    Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make all the rolls.

  8. 8

    In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, peanut butter, and warm water until smooth. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts if desired.

  9. 9

    Serve the fresh rolls immediately with the dipping sauce.
