CRISPY RICE PAPER SPRING ROLLS
Let's make delicious and crispy spring rolls with rice paper! I am talking about these cute rice paper rolls that have a colorful, pre-cooked veggie filling (with carrots, purple cabbage, spring onion, bean sprouts in this recipe) and baked in the oven until crispy. If you add the shredded hoisin tofu as well, you have some truly yummy vegan spring rolls in your hands.

Steps:
- Wash, peel and shred carrots using a grater or cut them in julienne-style with a knife. Julienne means thin matchsticks, so cut them as thin as you can.
- Wash and cut spring onion and bell pepper in julienne-style with a knife.
- Take the outer leaves of the purple cabbage. Shred them using a grater with large holes or cut them into shreds with a knife.
- Wash bean sprouts if you bought them unwashed.
- Take a frying pan or a skillet and heat it over medium heat. Add sesame oil.
- Add all cut veggies (spring onion, carrot, bell pepper and purple cabbage). Stir and cook them for 1-2 minutes.
- Add bean sprouts and soy sauce. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- The filling is ready when the veggies have softened but they are still a bit crunchy. You don't want them too soft and mushy.
- Use a firm tofu and press it. We use our trusted TofuBud for it, but you can choose any DIY method or tofu press. Pet it dry with a paper towel.
- Use a grater with large holes and grate the firm tofu. (We used ⅓ of a tofu block to make 8 spring rolls.)
- Take a frying pan or a skillet and heat it over medium heat. Add sesame oil.
- Add shredded tofu and soy sauce. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add hoisin sauce. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tofu gets dark brown.
- Gently submerge the rice paper. (See NOTES on how to know the duration.)
- Once submerged, transfer it to a dry and smooth surface.
- I place the filling in the middle around the lower third of the rice paper. If you have a standard size rice paper (approx. 20-22 cm /8-9 inches), you can fit 2-3 Tbsp of filling, which would make an approx. 10 cm (4-inch) long spring roll.
- First fold the sides gently but tight towards the middle.
- Take the bottom seam and fold it upwards gently, but tight.
- Use your fingers to tuck the filling tight within the rice paper before rolling it all the way up.
- Roll it all the way up, but use your fingers to keep the filling tucked tightly.
- Place your finished spring roll on a parchment paper with the closing seam on the bottom.
- Pre-heat the oven to 395 Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Place the rolls on a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat. Spray it with a bit of oil. Don't brush them as you might end up adding too much. Bake them for 10-15 minutes. The rice paper will not change color really, so don't wait for them to be golden brown. I usually flip them after 10 minutes to make sure that they are crispy all around.
- We recommend placing the finished spring rolls in the fridge to get rid of any moisture. Make sure they don't touch and cover them with a saran wrap. Deep fry in enough oil for a couple of minutes until crispy.
- Spray a bit of oil on the bottom of the air fryer. Air fry them for 380 Fahrenheit for approx 10 minutes. Definitely check at the 10 minute mark.

Steps:
- Cook vermicelli noodles in boiling water, for just a few minutes, according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- Gather all topping ingredients together, including chopped veggies, herbs, cooked shrimp.
- Add about 1 inch of water to a large, deep dish, or pie pan. Place one rice wrapper into the water and let soak for just 10-15 seconds. It should still feel pretty firm as you remove it and lay it on your counter or plate.
- (It will soften up as you add the filling ingredients, but If you let it soak for too long it will get too soft and will tear when you roll it up.)
- Layer 1-2 slices of each veggie, a few shrimp, a few leaves of each herb and a pinch of noodles on the 1/3 of the spring roll that is closest to you.
- Fold the sides of the spring roll in over the ingredients. Then pull the side closest to you up and over the ingredients, sealing everything together tightly, and rolling it up like a burrito.

SPRING ROLLS WITH SPINACH, MUSHROOMS, SESAME, RICE AND HERBS
I steam the spinach just until it collapses for these rolls and combine it with rice instead of the more traditional noodles. You can use brown, regular basmati or jasmine rice

Steps:
- Toss the rice with 1 tablespoon of the rice vinegar and the soy sauce
- Wash the spinach and steam 1 to 2 minutes, tossing halfway through. It should wilt but still have some texture. Rinse with cold water, squeeze dry and coarsely chop. Season with salt to taste
- Spread each tofu domino with about 1/4 teaspoon peanut sauce
- Place the shredded carrots, slivered mushrooms and chopped herbs in a large bowl and toss with the remaining rice vinegar and salt to taste
- Fill a bowl with warm water and place a spring roll in it just until it is pliable, about 30 seconds. Remove from the water and drain briefly on a kitchen towel. Place the wrapper on your work surface in front of you and arrange several cilantro sprigs, whole mint leaves and basil leaves, vein side up, on the wrapper. Leaving a 2-inch margin on the sides, place a handful of the carrot mixture on the wrapper, slightly nearer to the edge closest to you. Top with a handful of rice, then a handful of spinach. Place 3 tofu dominoes down the length of the spinach. Fold the sides in, then roll up the spring rolls tightly, squeezing the filling to get a tight roll. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with a dipping sauce of your choice

SPRING ROLLS WITH SHRIMP, RED RICE AND HERBS
On the surface this looks like a classic spring roll, with the shrimp beautifully displayed against the thin rice flour wrapper. Inside, though, red jasmine rice replaces the traditional rice noodles, and the vegetables are seasoned. You can find red jasmine rice at Whole Foods, distributed by Alter Eco. Bhutanese rice or brown rice may be substituted if you can't find it

SPRING ROLLS WITH CARROTS, TURNIPS, RICE NOODLES AND HERBS
This is a basic vegetable spring roll, vibrant with herbs and tangy because the vegetables and noodles are tossed with rice vinegar before being enclosed in the wrapper. You can vary the herbs. I've even used arugula from my garden, which is delicious

SPRING ROLLS
These tasty spring rolls are packed with vegetables, seafood and pork. They contain a lot of ingredients but are worth the effort. Serve them with your favorite sauce. Some types of mushrooms may need to be soaked 2 to 3 hours before use. Ground turkey may be substituted for pork.
