Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons sweet Asian chili sauce

  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce, reduced-sodium

  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger, fresh and grated

  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • 3 ounces buckwheat noodles

  • 1 1/2 cups Napa cabbage, thinly sliced

  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 12 ounces tofu, teriyaki marinated cut into strips

  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

  • 1/3 cup basil or mint leaves, coarsely chopped

  • 2 scallions sliced

  • 12 round rice paper wrappers (8 inches in diameter)

Directions

  • In a bowl, mix the sweet Asian chili sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, and water and set aside for dipping.

  • In a pot, cook the buckwheat noodles according to package directions then drain. Add 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil to the noodles to prevent sticking.

  • Mix the cabbage, bell pepper, and tofu in one bowl and the cilantro, basil, and scallions in another.

  • To make rolls, briefly dip one rice paper wrapper in the water in a shallow dish then set on a plate. Wait about 30 seconds to allow the rice paper to moisten.

  • In the center of each wrapper, place a small portion of noodles. Parallel to the noodles, line a small portion of cabbage, bell pepper, and tofu. When placing ingredients leave 1/4 of the wrapper empty on one side, 1/2 of the wrapper empty on the opposing side and 1/8 from what will be the top and bottom of the roll.

  • Scatter a portion of the cilantro mix on top of the other ingredients.

  • To wrap the roll, gently fold over the filling the 1/4 side that was left empty, then fold the 2 sides of the rice paper that would be the top and bottom ends of the roll. Finally, roll tightly the remaining end and seal with a dab of water.

  • Place the rolls on a separate plate and repeat this for remaining ingredients.

  • Cut the rolls in half and serve with the dipping sauce.
