If you love fresh spring rolls as much as I do then this recipe will delight. It’s easy to make and only requires fresh ingredients and time, nothing complicated.

There are three steps, the longest of which is marinating the tofu for several hours, which gives it the sweet and salty flavor of maple syrup and soy sauce. Next is the tangy sweet sauce for the rolls. Last you make your rolls any way you want on a rice paper wrap.
