Ingredients
Instructions
-
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the Lotus Foods brown rice and millet noodle cakes according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold running water to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking.
-
Place the cooked and cooled noodles into a large mixing bowl.
-
Add the carrot strips, purple cabbage, zucchini strips, avocado, leafy greens, sliced tomatoes, and air-fried tofu (air fried at 400 degree F for 22 mins - flipping halfway through) to the bowl with the noodles.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the peanut butter, turmeric powder, chili garlic powder, soy sauce, raw honey, Thai basil leaves, lemon juice, salt to taste, and a little water. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
-
Pour the marinade over the noodle and vegetable mixture. Toss well until the noodles, veggies, and tofu are evenly coated and all flavors are fully incorporated.
-
Fill a wide bowl or plate with lukewarm water. Dip one rice paper sheet into the water for a few seconds until just softened.
-
Place the softened rice paper on a clean surface. Add an even portion of the noodle rainbow mixture to the center, then fold and roll tightly to form a rice paper roll.
Continue dipping, filling, and rolling the remaining rice papers until all the noodle mixture is used and you have 16 rice paper rolls.
-
Serve immediately or chill slightly before serving for extra freshness. Enjoy these crisp, colorful, oil-free rice paper rolls as a light meal or weight-loss–friendly snack.
