Method

  1. Whisk the ingredients for the dipping sauce with 3 tbsp water and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a nonstick saucepan over a medium heat. Add the tofu slices and cook for about 4 mins on each side until golden. Reduce the heat to low, add the soy sauce and stir until it’s absorbed, then transfer the tofu to a plate.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the noodles to pack instructions, drain and rinse under cold water.
  4. When ready to eat, dip a rice paper wrapper in water until soft. Fill with a few coriander and mint leaves, some mango, carrot, cucumber and red cabbage. Add a couple of pieces of tofu and a small handful of noodles, then fold in the ends and roll to create a sealed roll. Repeat until you’ve used all the ingredients and made 8 rolls. Cut each roll in half widthways and serve straightaway alongside the dipping sauce.
