Vegetarian Rice Paper Rolls

Instead of making Korean Pork Belly Lettuce Wraps or Tuna Chickpea Lettuce Endive Wraps, consider these light, refreshing vegetarian alternatives such as Peas and Corn Lettuce Wraps or Tofu Salad-Veggie Rolls

I have not made rice paper rolls for the longest time ever since these Summer Rice Paper Rolls. Just like salads, these low-carb gluten-free rolls is quite the perfect summer food. Minimal cooking, fuss-free preparation to save you from stove-top cooking; yet refreshing and satisfying to enjoy on warm summer days. 


These rolls are quick and easy to put together with this tip/trick: Buy your favorite store-bought salad-box vegetables (Note: combination with leafy greens + finely julienned carrots, beets, radishes, bell peppers preferred) so that you do not have to prep (rinsing/drying/slicing) a variety of vegetables from scratch. Fill rice paper wrapper with rainbow veggies straight from the salad-box, add thinly sliced firm tofu (Note: needs to be firm or super-firm tofu to ensure minimum moisture that is preferred for wrapping) and this 15-minute healthy meal is ready before you even know it.
Enjoy as many rolls as you want without feeling guilty - Few rolls as appetizers or snacks and more rolls as main meal. 

The only difference from these Summer Rice Paper Rolls is the use of brown rice paper roll wrappers instead of the regular white rice roll wrappers.

Tofu Salad Vegetables Rolls/ Vegetarian Rice Paper Rolls
Ingredients:
1 pack store-bought salad-box salad-kit vegetables (preferred combination with leafy greens + finely julienned carrots, beets, radishes, bell peppers)
1 box super-firm/firm tofu, drain water thoroughly, dab dry with kitchen paper towel, sliced thinly, set aside
Brown rice paper wrapper, available in Sprouts, selected locations; or online (Note: If you buy them online, remember to use cash back website BeFrugal so that you earn cash back and get paid to shop. It's one of the best wallet-friendly tips that I have been using)

Directions: Prepare/moisten/soften wrapper according to package directions. Lay wrapper on a wide flat surface, fill up with tofu and veggies, wrap and enjoy rolls with your favorite dip/sauce
