Calories: 112kcal

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces tofu (medium to firm)
  • 1 rice paper (brown or white)
  • 1 handful spinach (washed and dried)
  • 1/2 small carrot (julienne cut, long thin strip)
  • 4 leaves red Belgian endive
  • dash salt & pepper (season tofu to taste)
  • sprinkle sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Wash & dry the spinach, and red Belgian endive. Peel the carrots, and slice. Set all vegetables aside.
  • Slice the tofu into thick strips, and season both sides with the salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • To soften the rice paper, use a plate that holds water, of a container you can lay the rice paper in and add water. This doesn't need to be deep, about a 1/2 inch or so.

  • Submerge the rice paper into the water for a few seconds, making sure it's completely wet. Lift it out onto a dry surface, and lay flat.
  • Add your ingredients to the center, fold the sides to the center, then taking the edge closest to you and fold it over the tofu and veggies. Then add the red Belgian endive, and rollover the endive to the opposite edge. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top, and then you're done.

Notes

You can add all the ingredients into the center of the rice paper and roll. Whichever color you would like to stand out, add that color as you roll and it will show though more vibrantly.
