| 175 g (6 oz) firm tofu, drained, lightly fried in a splash of sunflower oil, and cut in thin strips | 60 g (2 oz) pickled ginger, chopped | |
| 1 carrot, grated | 1 tbsp tamari | |
| 3 large Chinese cabbage leaves, finely shredded | 1 tbsp palm sugar or unrefined light brown sugar | |
| 4 spring onions, finely chopped | 2 tbsp mixed black and white sesame seeds | |
| 12 fresh mint leaves, finely shredded | A few drops of hot sauce (Sriracha or Tabasco) | |
| 6 fresh Thai basil leaves, finely shredded | Freshly ground black pepper | |
| A handful of fresh coriander leaves, chopped | 12 spring roll wrappers | |
| 2 garlic cloves, crushed | 60 g (2 oz) daikon sprouts |
Place everything, except the spring roll wrappers and daikon sprouts, in a bowl. Mix well and set aside to get happy.
Put the spring roll wrappers in a shallow dish and cover with warm water. Let soak for 30 seconds, then drain and dry on kitchen paper. Divide the vegetable-tofu mixture among the wrappers, leaving a 1cm ( 1/2 in) border all around except at the top.
Fold up the bottom of one of the skins and start rolling up from one side. When you get three-quarters of the way, place a small amount of daikon sprouts on top of filling, then continue rolling up completely. Roll up the rest of the spring rolls. Arrange on a serving platter.
