Directions:
- 1To marinate the tofu, add the soy, maple, garlic and lemongrass to a flat bowl and mix until combined. Add the tofu and gently toss until all sides of the tofu have touched the marinade.
- 2Meanwhile, prepare the vermicelli according to its packet instructions.
- 3To make the sauce, add all ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until combined. If desired, add more water for a thinner sauce.
- 4To cook the tofu, drizzle the oil in a large fry pan over high heat. Add the tofu and flip until all sides are golden brown. Set aside.
- 5Fill a large bowl with hot to warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper in the water for 30 seconds or until it has just softened. Place the wrapper on a wet chopping board. Top with a little vermicelli, tofu and vegetables, making sure not to overfill. Fold the rice paper wrapper as desired. Repeat for the remaining wrappers and ingredients.
- 6Serve rolls with peanut sauce for all the saucy dunking your heart desires.
