Vietnamese-style rolls are a great addition to your summer repertoire: They require very little cooking and can be assembled at the kitchen table or out on the patio. Thanks to bean thread noodles and baked tofu, they make a substantial meal, but pickled vegetables and a trio of herbs keep each sauce-dipped bite light and cool.

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb firm tofu
3/4 cup vegetable stock or 3/4 cup water
1/4 cup canola oil or 1/4 cup safflower oil
2 tablespoons tamari

2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic (peeled)

  • Use a variety of vegetables in your sauce. This will add flavor and color.
  • Thicken the sauce with cornstarch or arrowroot powder. This will help to create a glossy, flavorful sauce.
  • Serve the tofu sauce over rice, noodles, or quinoa.
