  • 1 ½ cups red cabbage shredded
  • 24 mint leaves

  • 4 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons ginger peeled + minced

Instructions
 

Rainbow Summer Rolls

  • Cut the tofu into thick slices, pat dry with a paper towel, and cook in a little oil on low-medium heat in a frying pan till done one both sides, about five minutes. Once cooked, cut into batons/matchsticks.
  • Meanwhile, cook the rice noodles in a pot of boiling water for two minutes, drain and set aside. Add fresh water to the pot, and boil edamame beans for five minutes, drain and set aside.
  • Prep all fruits and vegetables – wash and slice thinly or use a mandolin to speed the process up (about 20 minutes prep here).
  • One by one, take a rice paper wrapper and place on a dinner plate filled with water. Let soften. Transfer to a wooden board and add 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the centre.
  • Fold over one edge, then wrap up the sides, and roll.

Spicy Peanut Sauce

  • Peel and mince the ginger, then add all ingredients to a blender and blend till smooth. You may like to add a tablespoon of water for a thinner consistency. Enjoy!
