Gluten-Free JOC Appetizer: Crispy Tofu Spring Rolls

Ingredients:

8 gluten-free rice paper wrappers
1/2 block (7 ounces) firm tofu, pressed and sliced into thin strips
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
1 cup matchstick carrots
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
Gluten-free dipping sauce of your choice (e.g., gluten-free soy sauce, gluten-free hoisin sauce, or gluten-free peanut sauce)
Water for soaking rice paper wrappers

Instructions:

Prepare all your ingredients and have them ready for assembly.

Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water, making sure it's fully submerged, for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes pliable.

Carefully remove the rice paper from the water and lay it flat on a clean surface, like a cutting board or a damp kitchen towel.

In the center of the rice paper wrapper, layer a few slices of tofu, followed by some shredded lettuce, cucumber, carrots, cilantro, and mint leaves.

Fold the sides of the rice paper wrapper inward, then fold the bottom part over the filling. Begin rolling from the bottom, tucking the filling in tightly, and continue rolling until you have a sealed spring roll.

Repeat the process with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling ingredients.

Serve the gluten-free Crispy Tofu Spring Rolls with your choice of gluten-free dipping sauce on the side.
