• 1 tbsp avocado oil

• 1/4 cup tamari

• 1 avocado, thinly sliced

Dipping Sauce:

• Juice of one lime

• Juice of one small orange or juice half of one large orange

• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

• 1 clove garlic, grated

• 1/2 cup Tamari or low sodium soy sauce

• 1 tsp sriracha

• 1/4 cup peanut butter

  
  

Instructions: Tofu

1. Begin by slicing your tofu into strips that are half an inch thick.

2. Pour 1/4 cup of tamari into one bowl and place the panko in another bowl.

3. Place the tofu in the tamari and let it marinate for 10 minutes.

4. Take the tofu out of the tamari and cover it with panko.

5. Heat the avocado oil in a frying pan over medium heat, then add the tofu. Cook the tofu on each side until it turns golden, then remove it.

Instructions: Cold Rolls

1. Fill a large bowl, one that is wider than the rice paper, with very warm water.

2. Place a rice paper sheet in the water and let it soak for approximately 2 minutes. You want it to be just soft enough to bend easily, but not too soft.

3. Take the rice paper out of the water and layer it with avocado, red cabbage, red pepper, cucumber, carrots, and fried tofu to assemble.

4. Fold one side over and tuck it beneath the vegetables to roll it up. Then, fold in the corners and continue rolling until it is closed.

Instructions: Dipping Sauce

1. Add all of the dipping sauce ingredients to a jar and mix well.

Note:

1. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
