Ingredients

1 packet hoisin & sesame marinated tofu, sliced
50g vermicelli noodles
1 cup fresh coriander (we love Superb Herb)

1 cucumber,  julienned
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
8 rice paper sheets
1 tbsp black sesame seeds
Mint (we love Superb Herb)
Peanuts – toasted and chopped
1 New Zealand avocado (we love NZ Avocado)

Method

1. Cook sliced Tofu on a non stick frypan over medium high heat. 1-2 minutes each side or until heated through and slightly brown. Pour over the packet marinade last minute. Remove tofu from pan and set aside. Pour the marinade into a pottle as dipping sauce – set aside.
2. Prepare the vermicelli according to the packet instructions. Cut into shorter manageable length.
3. Dampen a clean kitchen towel and put on a clean surface. Prepare the rice paper sheets according to the instructions on the packet. Keep the hydrated rice paper on the damp towel.
4. Roll the summer rolls. On a rice paper, place vegetables, tofu, peanuts and a small clump of noodles then fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly. Repeat.
5. Cut rolls in half and enjoy them fresh with a bowl of the dipping sauce and sprinkle a little black sesame seeds over.
