Made these springrolls for lunch and dinner today, and definitely was a tasty healthy dish–and very versatile for your desired nutrition. Double-up on two sheets of rice paper (soak momentarily in water), and fill with fresh basil leaves, bean sprouts, vermicelli rice noodles, sliced lettuce, baby corn, chopped woodsear mushrooms, tofu (or slices of cooked chicken/beef/fish)… or anything really to your heart’s content. Leave out the rice noodles for a veggie-rich low-carb roll, and add extra tofu or meat for a high-protein dish. Essentially it has no fat either. Just needs a dipping sauce of your preference– my favorite is a spicy-sweet chili sauce (find at any asain food store). I think a nice peanut sauce is really great, too, or a sweetened soy-vinegrette.

This time I tried out a new "dried tofu" product, essentially like a more juicy "tofu-Jerky", which actually worked relaly well in the dish!

Have fun tailoring this to your dietary desires!
