Ingredients
- firm tofu - ⅝ cup (100g)
- coconut oil - 1 tbsp.
- Romaine lettuce leaves - 4 (shredded)
- avocado - ½ (sliced)
- Parmesan cheese - 2 tbsp. (grated)
- Caesar salad dressing - to taste
- rice paper wrappers - 4
Preparation Instructions
- 1. Slice the tofu into two thin rectangles and press using a towel to remove excess moisture.
- 2. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat and add the tofu. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden. Remove and let it cool before slicing into 8 strips.
- 3. Dip one rice paper in a bowl of warm water. Remove when slightly softened and place carefully on a plate lined with a dampened cloth or kitchen towel.
- 4. Place a few strips of tofu in the centre, top with avocado, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Lastly, top with some shredded lettuce.
- 5. Now fold the rice paper around the filling, firstly the sides, and then wrap tightly. Set the finished roll aside on your serving plate lined with a damp kitchen towel. Repeat with the rest of the papers.
- 6. Serve straight away with the Caesar dressing as a dipping sauce.
