Method
1. In a medium bowl, combine onion, capsicum, snow peas, cabbage and carrot. In a large frying pan, cook the mixture over a medium heat, stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables soften.
2. Meanwhile, place vermicelli in a small heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Stand until tender, then drain. Using kitchen scissors, cut vermicelli coarsely.
3. Combine vegetable mixture and vermicelli in a medium bowl with cucumber, mint and coriander. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Prepare a bowl of warm water, and dip one rice paper round into water until soft. Lift sheet from water and place on a clean tea towel.
5. Top with one heaped tablespoonful of vegetable mixture and 1-2 cubes of tofu. Fold sheet over filling, then fold in both sides. Continue rolling to enclose filling.
6. Repeat to make a total of 12 rolls.
7. Serve rolls with sweet chilli sauce. Keep the rolls moist by covering them with a slightly damp paper towel until ready to serve.
Tip: These are a tasty way to increase your vegetable intake and get the kids involved in making their own dinner.
