Rice Paper Rolls

Mixing it up with Salads : )

Another great VeggieNumNum recipe. This one is super versatile you can change it to suite your craving. It's also super fun to make at the table- we are planning on doing it for dinner with friends.

In addition to original recipe, we add fried eggs cut into strips (instead of tofu), and sushi rice to make it a little more filling for dinner. I couldn't find those adorable little Enoki mushrooms- but regular mushrooms worked great too.

Quick Rice Paper Rolls w/ Tofu & Enoki Mushrooms



Preparation time: 20mins
Serves 2-4
Soy Simmered Enoki Mushrooms
  • ¾ cup enoki mushrooms
  • 2 tbs soy sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbs rice wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp raw sugar
  • a few of Vietnamese mint leaves (optional)
Add all ingredients, except the mint leaves, into a small sauce pan bring to the boil and allow to gently simmer for 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a small bowl with a few mint leaves stirred in.


Quick Rice Paper Rolls w/ Tofu & Enoki Mushrooms
  • 1 large carrot, scrubbed & grated
  • 1 tomato, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups lettuce greens
  • ½ cup fresh herbs (mint, Vietnamese mint, coriander)
  • 150g marinated tofu, sliced
  • 10-12 rice paper rolls
  • Soy Simmered Enoki Mushrooms (as prepared above)
  • ¼ cup sweet chilli sauce
Arrange all the filling ingredients on a large platter and serve with the rice paper rolls and a shallow bowl of water.
To assemble the rolls, dip one rice paper sheet into the bowl of water for 30 seconds until just soft, remove from the water and lay on a clean plate. Add a little of each filling ingredient, fold in the ends and roll into a loose parcel.
Dip into the sweet chilli and/or soy from the enoki mushrooms before devouring :)
