Prep
-
Tofu - (Skip this step if tofu was already made Monday.) If tofu is packaged in water, press out liquid first. (Can be done 1 day ahead)
-
Make stir-fry sauce - (Skip this step if tofu and mushrooms were already made Monday.) Combine honey, soy sauce (the portion for the stir-fry), water and cornstarch. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
-
Cook rice noodles - (Skip this step if noodles were already made on Monday.) Cook according to package instructions. If not using right away, rinse noodles under cool water and store in an airtight container. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
-
Make dipping sauce - Whisk together peanut butter, honey, soy sauce (the portion for the sauce) and sriracha. Add water a bit at a time until sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
-
Carrots / Cucumbers - Prep as directed and store in one container. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
-
Cook tofu and mushrooms - (Skip this step if tofu and mushrooms were made on Monday.) Thinly slice mushrooms and remove any tough stems. Heat a wok or saute pan with first part of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add tofu to heated oil with some salt and pepper and saute until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer tofu to a plate and return wok to heat. Add second part of cooking oil and mushrooms to heated oil. Saute mushrooms until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tofu back to the pan along with stir-fry sauce. Simmer until sauce thickens and coats tofu and mushrooms, ~2 minutes more. (If doubled, remember to reserve half the cooked tofu and mushrooms for Wednesday.)

Make
-
Fill a frying pan with about 1 ½” (3.75 cm) of water. Heat water over medium-low heat - it shouldn't be so hot that you can’t touch it.
-
If tofu and mushrooms are in large pieces, roughly chop so they fit more easily in rolls
-
Use fingers to loosen noodles if they are stuck together and break them into smaller pieces.
-
Dip rice paper into water and rotate through water (check out this video to see how we keep the rice paper from sticking). Place onto a plate. Do 4 at a time and then assemble 4 rolls.
-
To assemble rolls, layer noodles, basil, mint, tofu, mushrooms, carrots, cucumbers and mango at the end of the rice paper that is close to you. Don’t overfill or the paper will break. Fold rice paper over the filling from the bottom up. Then fold sides over. Roll as tightly as possible (Again, check out the this video for tips).
-
Repeat until you have no more filling. Serve summer rolls with dipping sauce!
