Instructions

Prepare the rice noodles according to the packaging instructions. Then set them aside in a dish, drizzle a little sesame oil over them and mix it through, so that the noodles do not stick together.
Put down a large bowl and fill it with warm water. Take a rice paper and place it in the bowl. Let it soak for about 10-15 seconds, until the paper has become soft. Take it out carefully with two hands and let it drain briefly.
Lay the softened rice paper carefully on a clean surface, such as a chopping board or plate. Place a small amount of the avocado, cucumber, spinach, carrot, red cabbage, pepper, beansprouts and smoked tofu, coriander or mint, and a little of the rice noodles in the middle of the rice paper.
Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling. Then fold the sides inwards and roll the rice paper up tightly into a neat roll. Make sure the roll is packed firmly, but not too tightly so that the paper does not tear. Repeat this process with the remaining rice papers and filling until you have several spring rolls.
For the dipping sauce, mix the tamari, sesame oil and lime juice in a small bowl. Taste the sauce and adjust with extra lime juice for more freshness or sesame oil for a nutty flavor if desired.
