Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sheets tofu skin (yuba sheets)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup julienned cucumber
- 1 cup shredded napa cabbage
- 0.5 cup shiitake mushrooms (rehydrated and thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon arrowroot starch
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
Prepare the tofu skin (yuba) by soaking the sheets in warm water for 5-10 minutes until pliable, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a bowl, mix the shredded carrots, julienned cucumber, shredded napa cabbage, and thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms until well combined.
In a small bowl, combine coconut aminos, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the seasoning. Pour this mixture over the vegetable filling and toss to coat.
Lay one tofu skin sheet on a clean surface. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture near one edge of the sheet, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a log. Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the tofu skin rolls seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
In a small saucepan, mix 1 cup of water with 1 teaspoon of arrowroot starch and heat over low heat until slightly thickened to create a simple dipping sauce. Add a few drops of coconut aminos to enhance the flavor if desired.
Cut each tofu skin roll into bite-sized pieces, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve warm with the dipping sauce.
