Summer Rolls

This recipe is perfect for a meal with friends or family. You can prepare everything in advance and then everyone can create their own rolls at the table. A little tip: You can NEVER have enough of the peanut sauce. Often it is gone after a short time. So it's not worth saving with the quantities ;)

vegan, gluten-free


INGREDIENTS (8 servings):

Toppings:

  • 8 rice leaves (for spring rolls)
  • 2 pack glass noodles (approx. 200g)
  • 1 pack UMAMI Powermix
  • 2 carrots (cut into fine strips)
  • 1 cucumber (cut into fine strips)
  • Dried shiitake
  • 1 bunch coriander (plucked)
  • 1 bunch mint (plucked)

Crispy Tofu:

  • 1 pack of tofu
  • 2-3 tsp cornflour
  • Oil for frying

Marinade/Sauce Base:

  • Small piece of ginger (grated)
  • 1 medium garlic clove (grated)
  • 5 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 pinch chili flakes

Peanut sauce:

  • 3 heaped tbsp. peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1.5 tbsp. sesame seeds
  • 5-6 tbsp shiiitake pickling water

COOKING INSTRUCTION:

  1. Pour hot water over the dried shiitake in a bowl. Allow to swell for 5-10 minutes. Note: set the water aside. You will need it later for the peanut sauce.

  2. Mix all the ingredients of the marinade in a medium bowl.

  3. Cut the tofu into 1x4 cm strips. With 3 tablespoons of the marinade, marinate the tofu in a second bowl.

  4. Add the other ingredients of the peanut sauce to the rest of the marinade and mix. Depending on the desired consistency, add more or less of the shiitake pickling water.

  5. Cook the noodles as described on the package. Then immediately rinse with cold water and drain.

  6. Cut the vegetable toppings and divide them into small bowls.

  7. Add the cornflour to the marinated tofu and stir. Fry in a pan with oil until crispy.

  8. Place all ingredients, toppings and sauce in small bowls on the table. Provide a basin of warm water to soak the rice leaves (round roasting pans are perfect).

  9. Now everyone can fill their rice sheets and roll them up.
