Peanut Crunch Summer Rolls
Rice-paper rolls stuffed with crisp tamari tofu, cool noodles, and a fistful of fresh mint, packed with a punchy peanut-lime sauce for dunking. They roll up in minutes and travel beautifully wrapped in a damp towel.
Ingredients
- •8 sheets rice paper wrappers
- •100 g thin rice vermicelli noodles
- •200 g firm tofupressed and cut into strips; swap for cooked chicken or prawns if you like
- •1 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
- •2 tbsp gluten-free tamaridivided
- •1 large, cut into matchsticks carrot
- •1, cut into thin strips Lebanese cucumber
- •1/4, thinly sliced avocadothat is 1/8 avocado per serve — the low-FODMAP cap; don't add more
- •4, torn in half butter lettuce leaves
- •1/2 cup, loosely packed fresh mint and coriander leaves
- •3 tbsp natural peanut butterjust peanuts and salt
- •1, juiced lime
- •2 tsp maple syrup

Method
- 1Soak the vermicelli in just-boiled water for 3 minutes, then rinse under cold water and drain well.
- 2Pan-fry the tofu strips in the garlic-infused oil over high heat until golden on two sides, splash with 1 tablespoon tamari, and let it sizzle into a glaze; cool slightly.
- 3Whisk the peanut butter, lime juice, remaining 1 tablespoon tamari, maple syrup, ginger, and 2-3 tablespoons warm water into a pourable sauce; divide between two small jars.
- 4Dip one rice paper sheet in warm water for 5 seconds and lay it on a damp board; it will keep softening as you fill it.
- 5Layer on a piece of lettuce, a small tangle of noodles, tofu, carrot, cucumber, one avocado slice, and a few herb leaves; fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Repeat.
- 6Pack the rolls seam-side down in a container lined with a damp paper towel, cover with a second damp towel, and refrigerate; eat within 24 hours, dunking as you go.
🧮 Stacking: Avocado is capped at 1/8 per serve (a polyol source) — skip other polyol-heavy foods like mushrooms, extra avocado, or stone fruit in the same meal.
