Pre Recipe Prep
Prep your filling
Shred tofu and season with salt, set aside. Finely chop mushrooms and set aside in a separate bowl. Thinly slice your cabbage, dice your red pepper and shred your carrot. Set all aside.
Cook your filling
In a large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to brown. Salt and cook for 1 more minute. Add garlic, ginger and sliced green onions, cooking for 1 minute. Add tofu, and the rest of your veggies, salt and mix. Cook down for about 5 minutes until the cabbage is softened. Add 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 - 2 tbsp sambal, and 1/2 tbsp sesame oil and cook until the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat.
Roll
Dip 2 rice paper sheets at a time in water briefly and place them on a flat surface. Scoop 1/3 cup filling into the center of 1 and roll like a burrito. Place the rolled one on the second piece of rice paper folded side down, and roll again. Repeat until your filling is used up. This second layer is what gives you all the crunch.
Cook
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat, and in batches of 3-5 (depending on how big your pan is) cook your rolls until golden on all sides. Let cool on a wire rack to keep them crispy.
Make your sauce
To a small bowl add 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 1/2 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp chili crisp. Adjust to your liking and serve with rolls right away.
These are great reheated in the air fryer, however I have tested the first cook in the air fryer and the oven, and they get way too hard, so recommend a pan fry first.
