FAQ
How do I roll a summer roll?
The trick is to not over stuff the rice paper. Put all of the ingredients on the lower ⅓ of the rice paper. Try to bunch them together as much as possible.
Tuck the sides in first by folding them over the veggies and tofu. Then roll the summer roll up. Try to keep the veggies tucked in and tight as you roll.
Can I use different vegetables?
Absolutely! Use your favorites. Just make sure to cut them up thinly so they fit in the roll.
How long do these last in the fridge?
You can make up a big batch of these fresh rolls and then take them to work with you. They will last in the fridge for about 3 days.
What if I’m allergic to peanuts
That’s no problem. Instead of dipping this into a homemade peanut sauce, buy a bottle of sweet chili sauce from the grocery store or an Asian market. These taste amazing with the sweet chili sauce.
