BM #130 Week 2 Day 1 -
We are starting the new year with this delightful kid friendly meal. This week I am highlighting some dishes with Tofu as the star ingredient.
My kids love Tofu and so I made these wraps for them. My older one showed me the recipe she had in her collection and we customized it as per our taste buds.

Method Of Preparation -
To Prepare the Peanut Sauce -
To Prepare the Peanut Sauce -
Mix all the ingredients given in the ingredient list and whisk well until the sauce is creamy. Set aside.
Mix the Tofu marinade well in a ziploc bag and toss in the tofu strips. Seal the ziploc and toss well so that the marinade is absorbed evenly by all of the tofu.
After about 15 minutes, air fry the marinated tofu for about 8-10 minutes or until they are crisp. [Tofu can be baked or pan fried.]
In a separate pan, add a little oil and lightly stir fry zucchini and carrot and season them with a little salt and red pepper flakes.
Boil rice noodles in a pot until they are cooked al dente. Follow package instructions for cooking the noodles. Drain and set aside.
To assemble the Wraps -
Dip each of the rice papers in clean water and place on a clean cutting board or any clean work surface.
In the center of the rice paper, place forkful of boiled rice noodles, a couple carrots, a couple zucchini and a couple air fried tofu, drizzle some peanut sauce and sprinkle some red pepper flakes.
Wrap the rice paper like how a spring roll is wrapped and set aside.
[Many people like to consume them as is but we felt they are a little chewy for our taste so we pan fried them.]
Continue with the rest of the rice papers and set them aside.
For Pan frying the wraps, heat a pan and lightly grease the pan and place the wraps making sure they don't touch each other. Cook on all sides and remove from the pan and serve them warm with any dipping sauce.
Very nice, wraps look delicious.
This is yum! We love these rolls both as such and pan fried. Love the sauce too!
We absolutely love summer rolls and I make it very often. Pan frying the rolls is a good idea and I might try doing it next time when I make them.
Kids are very smart!..such a delightful wrap Harini.
These are wholesome and filling wraps. They look very inviting.
