Instructions
Place vermicelli noodles into a bowl, cover with boiling water, and let stand until the noodles are soft. Then drain the water and cut noodles into short lengths with kitchen scissors.
Meanwhile, heat sesame oil in a frying pan over medium heat
While the pan is heating, toss the tofu with the cornstarch in a bowl.
Add the coated tofu to the frying pan, flipping on all sides until evenly browned, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Soak rice paper sheets in cold water until soft and pliable.
Add a small handful of vermicelli noodles to the rice paper, followed by grated carrot, cucumber, red cabbage, cilantro, and tofu. Gently roll over once, tuck in the edges, and continue rolling until the seam is sealed.
Repeat with remaining rice paper sheets, noodles, vegetables, and tofu.
To make the dipping sauce, whisk together the peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup, and remaining sesame oil. Whisk in 2 - 3 tbsp of water, as needed, to make a smooth, creamy sauce.
Serve rice paper rolls with dipping sauce.
