Ingredients:

 

for spring rolls:

rice paper

glass noodles soaked and drained

for the tofu:

a day before cooking spring rolls remove tofu from the package and put under some press to remove the excess liquid. In the morning pat dry tofu and marinate it for 2 hours. Then cook on a dry pan on both sides until golden brown. Let cool before slicing.

 

For dipping sauce:

100 ml light coconut milk

1/3 Cup smooth peanut butter

1 Tb soy sauce

1 Tb maple syrup

1 Tb sesame oil

2 tsp rice vinegar

60 ml (1/4 Cup) water

Blend together all the ingredients until smooth.

 

Making spring roll: 

prepare all the ingredients. Add boiled water to a big deep plate or baking dish. The water should be very warm, not hot. Working with one rice paper at a time, submerge it to the water for about 15-20 seconds, until soft and pliable. Remove rice paper from the water and place on a work surface. Add to the middle roman leaves, 1-2 mango sticks, avocado, glass noodles, bell pepper, tofu and carrots. Fold over both sides of the rice paper, then start rolling from the bottom outwards, using a rolling motion till both ends are sealed. 

Cut in halve and serve with peanut sauce.
