Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Yield: 2-3 servings
Ingredients
- ½ pack large rice paper wrappers
- 1 package (200 gr) soft tofu with basil, shredded
- 1 bunch of green onions, chopped
- 4-5 handfuls of rumex or spinach, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 tsp ground savory
- 1 tsp oregano
- salt to taste
- sesame seeds
- poppy seeds
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Put the chopped green onions, rumex/spinach, onion, and garlic in a pot with ¼ cup of water. Add the seasoning (savory, oregano, and salt) and cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Fold the shredded tofu into the pot and mix everything well. Cook for another 5 mins. Now the filling is ready.
- Spray a round baking sheet with oil or line with parchment paper.
- Fill a large bowl with water, take one rice paper and soak it for 5 seconds or until slightly soft.
- Place it on your working surface. Take about two and a half tablespoons of the filling and spread it evenly on half of the sheet.
- Roll lengthwise. Then place it in the center of the baking sheet by folding it into a circle.
- Repeat this until the filling mixture is over, placing every roll by sticking it to the edge of the previous one until the circle is fully formed.
- Sprinkle with sesame and poppy seeds.
- Bake for 20 mins.
- As soon as the pie is ready, cover it with a slightly wet towel. Let it cool for a while.
Notes
- It is important to soak the rice paper wrappers one by one, so they don`t stick together.
- Soak them for several seconds until slightly softened, but still stiff or they are likely to tear when you try to roll them.
