Instructions
Wrap tofu in a clean, absorbent towel and set something slightly heavy on top - such as a saucepan - to begin "pressing" and drawing out excess moisture.
In the meantime, prepare sauce by adding minced garlic, cashew butter, tamari, maple syrup, lime juice, and red pepper flake to a small mixing bowl and whisking to combine. Add hot water until you've reached a semi-thick sauce consistency.
Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lime juice for acidity, red pepper flake for heat, tamari for saltiness, or maple syrup for sweetness. Set aside.
Add clean, dry kale to a medium mixing bowl and top with sesame oil and tamari. Massage with hands to soften and infuse some flavor. This step is optional, but results in a more flavorful roll in my opinion.
Prep remaining vegetables and cut tofu into rectangular strips (see photo). Arrange on a platter so they're easy to access. Also ready a cutting board by slightly dampening its surface - this is where you'll prepare your salad rolls.
Pour very hot water into a wide shallow dish (I use a skillet) and let cool slightly. Then dip one spring roll wrapper in the water and let it soften for 10-12 seconds, until just pliable. If you let it set too long, the paper will get too sticky to work with.

HEy ! Try penut butter or almond butter both i find work well for recipes like this ! :)
I roll it on damp kitchen roll or a damp J cloth with edge tucked under chopping board to keep it from moving.
These are delicious!! I have laso aded fresh cucumber to the mix and they are just divine! I’ve used bigger sheets and after having 2 big rolls i was stuffed!! As i am not vegan i used honey insted of maple syrup. Goes very nicely together as the sauce ingridient! This is what is going ti help me with the long Winter season ahead! Tastes and looks like Dpring on the plate! LOVE IT!! ❤️?❤️?
My daughter and I made tje dipping sauce and used it on roasted vegetables. It was yummy.
Wow!! The cashew dipping sauce is SO savoury! My guests and husband loved this combination. I definitely recommend this recipe!
OMG that dipping sauce is amazing!!!! I also made it with pumpkin seeds for a nut-allergic friend and it still turned out pretty tasty. Thanks!
I made this today, they are amazing!!! Basil! Boom! Drops mic.
Thank you for this recipe! I had most of the ingredients except I didn't feel like buying cashew butter, but used Sunbutter and the taste was amazing! I will be making these again.
Try using Thai basil, and adding a mint leaf, it really puts that authentic spin on it
Stick with it, your taste buds will change over time. I didn't eat a salad until I was 24. I did ketogenic diets (Under 20carbs per day) for years. My weight was out of control and I was very unhealthy. I taught myself to enjoy fruits and vegetables by treating them like medicine (which they are). When I watched the documentary Earthlings, I dropped all animal products that day and haven't looked back. I'm 60 pounds lighter without trying, blood pressure is normal for the first time in my life, and I love the foods I eat. You can do it too! :)
Made these last night. I put avocado, mushroom, garlic sprouts, basil, smoked sriracha tofu, cucumber, and orange pepper. The sauce was amazing. Thank you.
