Instructions

  1. a. In a large bowl, combine tofu, soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili flakes, and green onions. Mash the tofu with a fork or potato masher until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. If using real shrimp, fold in diced cooked shrimp. b. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. c. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper roll into the water until softened, about 15 seconds. Transfer to a clean surface. d. Place a spoonful of tofu shrimp mixture onto the center of the rice paper. Add a few pieces of mango and lettuce greens on top. e. Fold in the sides of the rice paper and roll it up like a burrito, sealing the ends. Set aside on a plate. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 8 rolls. f. Garnish each roll with chopped peanuts before serving.
