Ingredients

  • 12 round rice papers

  • 1 English cucumber, cut into thin, matchlike sticks

  • 2 6 ounce packages savory baked tofu, cut into 1/4-inch-thick sticks

  • 2 cup packaged shredded carrots

  • 1 cup fresh mint or cilantro leaves

  • Soy sauce or Asian sweet chili sauce

Directions

  1. Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper into water for a few seconds or just until moistened (rice paper will still be firm but will continue to soften during assembly). Place rice paper on work surface.

  2. Place a few cucumber sticks across the lower third of the rice paper. Top with some of the tofu, carrots, and mint. Fold bottom of rice paper over filling. Fold in sides; roll up tightly.

  3. Repeat with the remaining rice papers, cucumber, tofu, carrots, and mint. Serve immediately with soy sauce for dipping.
