Could really use some spring vibes right about now. Anyone else?
Prepped this spring roll in a bowl earlier this week and made enough for lunches all week. Let me tell you this was definitely the move. Highly recommend you try it out. And the peanut dressing….come on 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
For the bowl:
10 ounces thick rice vermicelli noodles, prepared according to package
14 ounces firm tofu, pressed and cut into cubes
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 cup frozen edamame, thawed
1 red pepper, sliced into thin strips
3 Persian cucumbers, sliced thin lengthwise
1 cup purple cabbage, sliced thin
1 cup carrots, shredded or cut into matchsticks
½ cup fresh cilantro
¼ cup crushed peanuts
For the peanut dressing:
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
6 tablespoons warm water, plus more to thin
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons low sodium tamari
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon coconut sugar
pinch of salt
1. Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook until the tofu is golden and crisp on all sides (takes about 8-10 minutes). Set aside.
2. Divide noodles evenly between 4 bowls.
3. Divide the tofu, edamame, peppers, cucumbers, cabbage and carrots evenly between the bowls, topping the noodles.
4. Make the dressing by thinning the peanut butter with the warm water. Whisk in the remaining ingredients. Add more water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dressing reaches the desired consistency.
5. Top the bowls with peanut dressing, cilantro and peanuts.
