Preparation
Preparing the filling
Heat a large pan. Add the oil then sauté the onion and garlic.
When cooked, add in the vegetables and season with salt.
Mix well and cook for 8-10 minutes over medium heat until the vegetables are cooked through and water has seeped out.
Remove from the pan.
Depending on whether there is a lot of liquid, you can strain the vegetable mix.
In the same pan, heat another tablespoon of oil.
Add in the tofu and crumble into small pieces using a fork.
Season with the soy sauce, salt, and mushroom soy sauce if using.
Cook for 10-12 minutes moving around every 2 minutes until tofu starts to dry up and turns into a mince.
Once lightly browned and cooked through, turn off the heat then add in the vegetable mix.
Mix well.
Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Wrapping the spring rolls
Prepare the wrappers by separating them from one another.
Prepare a small bowl of room temperature water as well.
Add in 2 tablespoons of the filling on the bottom of the wrapper.
Slowly roll to the top then fold the sides before continuing to roll to the top and sealing the edge with water.
