Ingredients

Scale
  • 7–8 rice paper wrappers
  • 1 medium beet, skin removed and finely grated
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, matchstick-cut
  • 1 ripe mango, cubed (optional)
  • 1 large bunch fresh mint leaves
  • 1 large bunch fresh cilantro leaves
  • 8 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed & sliced (or 1 cup cooked vermicelli noodles or quinoa)
  • Ginger-Peanut Sauce
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut (or almond) butter
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2–3 Tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup, to taste
  • 1/2 medium lime, juiced
  • 1/2 tsp chili-garlic sauce
  • 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • Hot water, as needed to thin

Instructions

  1. Prep all vegetables and herbs; set aside in separate piles for easy assembly. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together all peanut-sauce ingredients except water. Add hot water 1 Tbsp at a time until the sauce is creamy and pourable; reserve. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
  3. Fill a wide, shallow dish with very warm water. Submerge one rice-paper wrapper for 10–20 seconds until just pliable.
  4. Lay the softened wrapper on a clean, damp cutting board. Arrange a small handful of carrots, peppers, beet, mango, mint, cilantro, and tofu in the center.
  5. Fold the bottom edge up over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to seal.
  6. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings (makes 7–8 rolls). Keep finished rolls under a barely damp towel to prevent drying.
  7. Serve immediately with the ginger-peanut sauce and extra sriracha if desired.

Notes

  • If making ahead, omit the mango—the acidity can weaken rice paper overnight. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
  • Leftovers keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 days but are best fresh.
  • A damp kitchen towel under the wrapper prevents sticking and makes rolling easier.
