Ingredients

  • 8 sheets rice paper wrappers
  • 4 oz vermicelli noodles
  • 8 oz firm tofu
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the 4 oz vermicelli noodles in boiling water until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Slice the 8 oz tofu into thin strips and the 1 carrot and 1 red bell pepper into matchsticks. Pat the tofu dry with a paper towel.

  3. 3

    Dip one rice paper wrapper in warm water for 5 seconds until pliable. Lay it flat and place a few noodles, tofu, carrot, bell pepper, and cilantro leaves in the center.

  4. 4

    Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as hoisin or peanut sauce.
