Hot days usually means that most of us can not muster up the energy to cook. These summer rolls are ideal for the season and ticks all the boxes as a bring to a party food, tasty, nutritious and they look damn good!

everything you need
Tohu marinade
1 block of Fu fighters Tohu
2 tbsp tamari
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbs coconut oil
For the rice paper rolls
1 x packet rice paper rolls
1 ripe avocado sliced
2 carrots thinly sliced
¼ red cabbage thinly sliced
30g bunch coriander leaves
2 tbs poppy seeds
3 cups vermicelli noodles
Dipping sauce
3 heaped tbs smooth peanut butter
2 tbs apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup coconut milk
2 tbs sriracha
2 tbs maple syrup
1 tbs grated ginger
Pinch salt
Step 1
Start by slicing the Tohu into ½ inch slices, place on a clean tea towel and gently press to remove any excess moisture. Place all the marinade ingredients into a bowl, whisk and then add sliced Tohu to marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 4
Next soak 1 of the rice paper wraps in cold water for 1-2 mins until floppy. Remove the rice paper and shake off excess water and place on the damp tea towel. Place a slice of tohu in the centre with a sprig of coriander. Add a strip of avocado, pile some noodles on top, then add a layer of carrot and red cabbage and a sprinkle of poppy seeds. Fold the bottom half of the rice paper over, then fold the sides in and tightly roll it up. Cut in half with a sharp knife and place in a plate to serve.
Repeat until you’ve used up all your ingredients.
