Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ounces vermicelli noodles
  • 8 large rice paper wrappers

  • 1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded, and cut into strips (optional)
  • 1 mango, peeled and cut into strips

  • Fresh basil, mint, and cilantro leaves
  • For the peanut sauce:
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Water to thin, as needed

Instructions

  1. Cook vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Rinse with cold water and set aside.
  2. Prepare vegetables, tofu, mango, and avocado by slicing into thin strips.
  3. Whisk all peanut sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth, thinning with water as needed.
  4. Fill a large bowl with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper until soft and pliable (about 15 seconds).
