These Giant Tofu Summer Rolls are a fresh, colorful, and satisfying twist on traditional Vietnamese summer rolls, packed with crispy tofu, rice noodles, and vibrant vegetables, all wrapped in rice paper and served with a flavorful peanut dipping sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 block (14 oz) of extra firm tofu, pressed and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or oil of choice)
  • 8–10 large rice paper wrappers
  • 4 oz rice noodles, cooked according to package instructions
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 1 cucumber, julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 cup fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, Thai basil)
  • Optional: lettuce leaves
  • For the peanut sauce:
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2–3 tablespoons warm water (to thin)

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then slice into thick strips.
  2. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add tofu slices and cook until golden on all sides, about 8–10 minutes. Drizzle with soy sauce while cooking.
  3. Prepare rice noodles according to package instructions and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
  4. Prepare all vegetables and herbs by washing and cutting them into thin slices or shreds.
  5. Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Soak one rice paper wrapper at a time for about 10–15 seconds until just soft.
  6. Place the soaked wrapper on a clean surface. Layer with tofu, noodles, vegetables, avocado, and herbs.
  7. Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
  8. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.
  9. To make the peanut sauce, whisk together all sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth, adding water as needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Serve the summer rolls immediately with the peanut dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use a clean, damp towel or smooth surface to roll the summer rolls to prevent sticking.
  • Customize the fillings based on your preference or seasonal vegetables.
  • These are best served fresh but can be stored covered in the fridge for up to one day.
  • Add sriracha or chili flakes to the peanut sauce for a spicy kick.
