Ingredients

Seasoning Sauce

  • 60 ml low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 2 Tbsp chilli garlic sauce or Sambal Oelek
  • 2 tsp coconut sugar
  • 2 tsp dark soy sauce (optional)
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp Chinese five spice

Filling

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 340 g cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 225 g extra firm tofu, drained, patted dry, and crumbled
  • 1 cup (approx. 150 g) diced onion
  • 1 cup (approx. 150 g) chopped water chestnuts
  • ¾ cup (about 70 g) grated carrot
  • 8 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 Tbsp grated ginger
  • 1 cup chopped spring onion, plus extra for serving

To Assemble

  • 15 rice paper sheets
  • 1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated
  • Fresh coriander, chopped
  • Crispy wonton strips
  • Spicy soy sauce for dipping
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Method

1. Make the sauce

Whisk all the seasoning sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.

2. Cook the filling

  1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the mushrooms and tofu and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring often, until the mushrooms release their liquid and the tofu starts to crisp.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, water chestnuts, carrot, garlic, and ginger.
  4. Pour in the seasoning sauce and cook for 4–5 minutes, until the onions soften and the mixture smells fragrant.
  5. Stir in the spring onion, remove from the heat, and allow the filling to cool for about 10 minutes.

3. Build the rolls

  1. Fill a large bowl with cool water.
  2. Dip one rice paper sheet into the water for 12–15 seconds until soft and flexible.
  3. Lay it on a damp board or clean surface.
  4. Place a lettuce leaf near the bottom third, add 2–3 tablespoons of filling, coriander, and crunchy wonton strips.
  5. Fold up from the bottom, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly until sealed.
  6. Repeat with the remaining sheets.

4. Serve

Cut each roll in half and serve with sesame seeds, extra spring onion, and spicy soy sauce.

Ben went over and above for us, he offered to fix a few small things around the house for us, and practically ended up redoing our bathroom. We were really happy with his generosity. Jade and Ben were lovely to work with and we really felt they were a good fit for us.

This is the second time we have sold with Ben and both times the result has been outstanding. On a personal level we click and its clear he actually cares about both the sellers and the buyers he is working with. The result we achieved and the sheer quantity of offers received in a dead market shows what an outstanding salesman and marketer Ben (and is his team) is.

Ben, Peter and Jade. You guys are the most awesome Real Estate Agents we have ever met. We went to hundreds of open homes and met many agents throughout our search for a home, yet we would come back to you straight away for our next house. Thank you!

Ben worked exceptionally hard on our behalf to get the sale over the line. Ours was not straightforward by any means, and Ben navigated through the many twists and turns to ensure a very satisfactory outcome for us. We highly recommend Ben. :)
