It’s summer my darlings! Oh really, because when I look out the window, summer is taking a little breather right now. The thermometer shows just 15 degrees, but no matter, we don’t let it spoil our mood and concentrate on the next temperature rise. What can’t be missing? A delicious, easy to digest and filling. Dish with lots of ingeniously good dip. Of course, all homemade and eaten up completely (honestly, you can not leave this sauce either … much too delicious).
Vegan Spring Rolls with marinated tofu? Give it to me!
Tofu Nature is boring after all! Think many people and yes it is, if it is not properly fried, seasoned or in our case marinated. The other day I was really surprised when I cooked tofu natural on the grill and then put it in a sandwich. It was super tender, firm on the outside, and almost reminded me a bit of chicken. The Recipe will be available soon. But now for our, delicious tofu strips. These are pickled in soy sauce, maple syrup and sesame oil. At least 30 minutes, so that everything can soak nicely. Then various vegetables are chopped, glass noodles are cooked and a delicious, as ingenious sauce is prepared. I make this based on Cashew butter but more about that below.
Dip it, baby!
There are lots of dipping sauces out there, but I chose a particularly delicious one. Cashew butter, soy sauce, Bird Eye chilies, maple syrup, lime juice and hot water to thin. That’s it! Shall we get started? Here is a short overview of what you should have ready for your personal Spring Roll Work Station:
- Rice paper
- a large plate of lukewarm water (to soak the rice paper)
- another flat plate or wooden board for rolling the Spring Rolls
- a long board with the finely chopped vegetables
- a small bowl for the tofu
- a bowl for the rice noodles
Ready to Roll?
Let’s get going, yuhee! If you’re still thinking of serving dessert, I’m thinking of the delicious, vegan caramel pudding . I do not use any other side dishes with this dish, because it makes it full! By the way, the dish is very suitable for a fun evening with friends, especially if you have one or the other coarse motorist with you, to whom the rolling is not so easy from the hand(sorry Chris!). You can have a little fun, can’t you?
