Vegan tofu and veggie rolls with pickled cabbage, brown rice, and sweet + spicy sauce. Perfect for a light and delicious summer meal.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
  • 60ml (1 ⁄4 cup) hoisin sauce
  • 40.00 ml Chinese cooking wine
  • 300g firm tofu, drained, cut into 8 thick batons
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 60ml (1 ⁄4 cup) rice wine vinegar
  • Pinch of table salt
  • 8 large wombok (Chinese cabbage) leaves, bases trimmed
  • 170g (1 cup) cooked brown rice
  • 1 red capsicum, deseeded, thinly sliced
  • 1 large carrot, peeled, cut into matchsticks
  • 125g snow peas, thinly sliced
  • 8 fresh coriander sprigs
  • Thinly sliced fresh red chilli, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a shallow dish, combine ginger, 1 tbsp hoisin, and 1 tbsp wine. Add tofu and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the rest of the hoisin sauce and wine.
  • Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Sear tofu with marinade for 2 minutes on each side until caramelized. Plate and serve.
  • Fill a large heatproof bowl with boiling water. In another large bowl, mix vinegar, sugar, salt, and 2 tbsp water. Blanch 2-3 leaves at a time in the boiling water for 10 seconds. Using tongs, place the blanched leaves in the vinegar mixture for 30 seconds to pickle. Drain on paper towel.
  • Lay out the leaves on a clean work surface. Position rice, capsicum, carrot, snow peas, a slice of tofu, and coriander 2cm from the base of each leaf. Drizzle 1⁄2 teaspoon of hoisin mixture onto each filling. Gently roll up the leaves, tucking in the edges. Serve with the rest of the hoisin mixture and some chili on the side.
