- 1 carrot
- 200 g tofu
- 1 bunch cilantro

- 400 g mushrooms
- 1 cucumber small
- 2 avocado
for taste and frying
- 1 garlic clove
- 5 g ginger

- 1 tsp soy sauce
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the vegetables and herbs. Use a peeler to cut small stripes off the carrot. Cut the cucumber into slim stripers. Pick the leaves of the herbs and chop them roughly. Put everything into separate containers.
- Cut the tofu and the mushrooms in stripes. Heat up two pans and add some coconut oil. In one pan fry the tofu stripes from each side until golden. In the other, add the mushrooms, garlic and ginger. Fry until golden, deglaze with a dash of soy sauce.
- Bring some water to boil and quickly boil the vermicelli.
Rolling summer rolls
- Prepare a big bowl with warm water. soak the rice paper entirely, quickly. Lay the paper out flat on a plate, with one small latch hanging off the edge of the plate.
- Add some or all ingredients to your liking. Arrange them sideways between the center and the hanging latch. Try to place everything evenly.
- Grab the hanging latch from below and pull it up. Use your fingers to press down the ingredients on the roll while flapping over the rice paper you just picked up. Wrap the paper around the pile of ingredients and push to close the roll for now.
- Roll the whole thing away from you, towards the other end of the plate. When about half a roll towards the end, flap in the empty rice paper from the sides. Roll the last open rice paper onto the roll. And you are done!
- Rinse and repeat.
