Vietnamese Spring Roll

This recipe is courtesy SR. It’s a cold spring roll, made from tofu and I think it would make an excellent accompaniment to some spicy lo mein.

Ingredients :for the spring rolls - 1) lightly fried firm tofu or rice noodles 2) fresh basil leaves - cut finely 3) julienne cucumbers 4) julienne carrots 5) cubed green pepper 6) mung sprouts 7) waterchestnuts sliced thinly 8) rice paper wrappers - available in asian stores.

Sauce: soy sauce mixed with chilli garlic paste.

Method :
Dip rice sheet in luke warm water, until entire sheet is soft.
Spread over a plate
Add little of all the above veggies and tofu/rice noodles
Fold from top to bottom, left to right

If the picture is anything to go by, I'm sure it's going to be one heck of a spring roll!
