Prepare The Tofu: Start by removing the tofu from the package and allowing it to sit wrapped in paper towels with a pot on top for about 10 minutes to release any excess moisture. Once done, cut it into 10 rectangular strips. Shred the purple cabbage (if you did not buy pre-shredded) and set all ingredients aside.

Prepare the Vegetables: Peel and cut the carrot into chunks (julienne). Julienne the cucumber into strips the same size as the carrot strips.

Prepare The Rice Paper: Fill a deep plate or large bowl (large enough for the rice paper to set in) with lukewarm warm. Place a cutting board beside the bowl to roll up your spring rolls on.

Make The Spring Rolls: Dip a piece of rice paper in the water, then turn it over and dip it again – allowing it to sit for 10-15 seconds submerged. Place it on your cutting board and repeat this step with a second sheet of rice paper, then place the second sheet overlapping 1/4 to 1/3 of the first sheet. Quickly add your ingredients, starting with the tofu and then stacking the veggies on top, about one and a half inches from one of the long edges of your rice paper (your rice paper will slowly start to get softer, so you’ll need to work fast). Once the ingredients have been added begin to roll up the ingredients, pulling the rice paper over them tightly. Pull ad fold the edges in and continue rolling (like a burrito) until the veggies are completely rolled up.

Repeat: Continue the above step with all of the rice paper, tofu, and veggies. Roll each spring roll in plastic wrap or parchment paper. If you want to enjoy them right away, cut them in half and serve with the creamy peanut dipping sauce.

Make the Creamy Peanut Dipping Sauce: in a small bowl or blender, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, Mirin, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, chili crunch, and salt. Slowly add the water to the mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time and mix until it’s reaching a creamy but slightly liquid dipping sauce consitency. Taste and adjust with salt and honey as needed (or chili crunch, if your prefer a little heat!)
