Tofu Spring Rolls
1 pound firm tofu, cubed
3 tablespoons Bragg's liquid aminos or tamari
1/2 head cabbage, diced
2 carrots, shredded
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 small piece fresh ginger, diced
salt, to taste
garlic granules, to taste
1 cup veggie oil, for frying, divided
1 (12 ounce) package frozen spring roll sheets
2 tablespoons pickled ginger, diced
1. Marinate tofu in bragg's or tamari. Mix cabbage, carrots, onions, garlic, and ginger in a large bowl. Add the salt and garlic granules.
2. Fry the tofu in a frying pan with some of the oil until golden brown. Pat the oil off, then add the tofu to veggies.
3. Lay the spring roll sheets out 1 at a time, and place 2 1/2 tablespoons veggie mix in the middle of the sheet. Fold one corner of the sheet to the center then fold down 2 other corners where it looks like an envelope.
4. Roll the sheet until there is 1 corner left. Dab a little water on that corner to make the spring roll stick together. In a frying pan, add 5 tablespoons oil. When it's ready, add 3 rolls at a time.
5. When 1 side is golden, roll to another side until all side are golden brown. Pat dry, and continue with all rolls. Serve with pickled ginger.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
These are definitely somethng to add to my list of yummy vegan recipes. I used a different combo of veggies because that's what I had in the fridge.....spinach, bell pepper, parsnip and zucchini. My family is still Tofu shy so I put it through the food processor to make the pieces small enough to be barely noticeable. YUM ;)b
This was pretty good.
Even with the frying, the tofu stays pretty moist, so the filling isn't dry or anything. I thought the pickled ginger would be kind of weird, but I barely noticed it.
It was kind of difficult to get these to a uniform shape, and it would probably be easier if there were noodles in the filling as well.
We had them with peanut sauce.
