Ingredients

  • 16 round (8-inch) rice-paper wrappers

  • 2 small heads Boston or butter lettuce, leaves separated and ribs removed

  • 2/3 cup tightly packed Thai basil leaves

  • 2/3 cup tightly packed cilantro leaves

  • Peanut Dipping Sauce for Summer Rolls

  • 2 ounces bean threads

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

  • 6 shallots, thinly sliced into rings

  • 2 packages (11 ounces each) fried tofu, cut into 2-inch-long, 1/4-inch-thick sticks

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 1 ounce jicama, peeled and cut into matchsticks (about 2 cups)

  • 12 ounces large carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks (about 2 cups)

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

Make the filling: Soak bean threads in hot water for 20 minutes. Drain, and rinse in cold water. Cut into 2-inch lengths.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a small bowl; set aside.

Add tofu to skillet; cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce; cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a large bowl.

Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet; heat until hot but not smoking. Add jicama and carrots; cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add bean threads and remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce; cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl with tofu; stir to combine.

To assemble each roll, soak a wrapper in a bowl of warm water until softened, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a work surface. Lay 1 or 2 lettuce leaves lengthwise at 1 end of wrapper. Spread 1/2 cup tofu mixture over lettuce; sprinkle with shallots. Top with basil and cilantro. Fold ends in and roll tightly to enclose filling. Cover with a damp cloth until ready to serve. Halve rolls. Serve with dipping sauce.
