- Begin by first peeling and slicing the carrot into thin strips. Then peel, seed and slice the cucumber.
- Remove the tofu from the package and place it on a dish towel or paper towel to drain any excess liquid.
- Cut the tofu into 1/4" pieces and then dry fry them in a skillet over medium heat (use a non-stick pan, but do not use any oil!).

- Prepare an assembly station with the sliced carrot, sliced cucumber, cooked tofu and broccoli sprouts.
- Fill a large bowl with hot water and place a wet paper towel on the cooking surface where you will prepare the fresh rolls.

- Place the softened rice paper onto the wet paper towel and then add several slices of carrot, cucumber, broccoli sprouts and two pieces of the cooked tofu.
- Roll the ingredients up (the rice paper will stick to itself creating a seal).
- Cut in half and serve with peanut dipping sauce.
