And now to enjoy the finished product! My rolling skills could be better…. Also, I forgot to say that, if I have it, I usually add a little fresh cilantro to the filling.

Today’s vegan delicacy…. Vietnamese spring rolls! Filling is a package of maifon rice sticks(cooked), tofu, green onions, shredded spinach, and a package of coleslaw (basically shredded cabbage and carrots-stir fried with the tofu in a little sesame oil).
The dipping sauce is peanut sauce made using the basic forks over knives recipe with a few of my own modifications. Now, all I have to do is roll them up and enjoy!
