Rainbow Veggie Wraps

These tempeh rainbow veggie wraps are just as delicious, and just as healthy as they are beautiful! They are fun for the whole family to make and will delight your tastebuds with flavors of sesame, ginger, and lime. Because these wraps are naturally gluten free and vegan, they are a great option to serve for any dietary preferences! They can be enjoyed as an appetizer or even shine as the main course.

What do I need to make these wraps?

These wraps start out with a large collard leaf for the base! If you aren’t a fan of collard, this recipe is sure to turn you into one. If you can’t find collard leaves, you can also use rice paper wraps for an equally delicious result!

  • Collard Leaves – Look for large collard leaves that are bigger than yo’ face. Try to find leaves that are 8-10″ long with few tears/holes/blemishes.
  • Red Cabbage
  • Mango
  • Cucumber
  • Romaine
  • Cilantro
  • Avocado
  • Red Pepper
  • Noodles – You can use rice noodles, vermicelli noodles, heart of palm noodles, or shirataki noodles

What type of sauce goes well with these Rainbow Veggie Wraps?

These wraps would go well with a variety of sauces, including sweet chili sauce, peanut sauce, soy sauce, or sriracha, but my favorite way to enjoy them is with this delicious Sesame Miso Ginger Sauce. To make the sauce, you will need just a few simple ingredients:

  • Tahini – make sure to select a variety of tahini that is runny and not too bitter. I tend to find the roasted varieties of tahini are sweeter and more mild than the raw varieties.
  • Maple Syrup
  • Rice Vinegar
  • Miso Paste
  • Ginger
  • Lime Juice
  • Soy Sauce or Tamari
  • Chili Garlic Sauce
  • Sesame Seeds

Tofu Noodle Soup

Spicy Noodle Soup with Silken Tofu

This spicy noodle soup is gluten free, vegan, and ready in less than 30 minutes. Not only does it come together quickly, it is also very easy to make, even with the homemade broth. The shelf-stable silken tofu is ready to use right out of its box. The asian-inspired flavors of the soup are bold and warming with garlic, ginger, and miso and the mushrooms add an abundance of umami flavor. Each bowl is a wholesome vegan meal with a good source of complete protein from the Mori-Nu Silken Tofu Extra Firm.

What is the Difference Between Mori-Nu Silken Tofu and Regular Tofu?

Mori-Nu Silken Tofu is smooth and creamy. Unlike cotton/momen tofu, which is usually known as “regular” tofu, it touts a uniform silken consistency. The main difference between Mori-Nu Silken Tofu and other tofu is the way it is made. This silken tofu forms inside its box with no preservatives, resulting in a velvety texture. It is fabulous in recipes like dressings, sauces, desserts, dips, smoothies, appetizers, and this delightful noodle soup.

Tips For Making this Spicy Noodle Soup and Handling Silken Tofu

  1. Make sure to add every ingredient! Since we are making a quick broth from scratch, each ingredient is responsible for adding a different layer of complexity in the flavor.
  2. Add your noodles to the soup immediately prior to serving, otherwise they will get mushy!
  3. Make sure to mix your miso paste with water before adding to the broth to prevent any chunks.
  4. Carefully cut the packaging of your Mori-Nu Silken Tofu and turn upside down on top of a cutting board to let it gently slide out of the box. Use a sharp knife to first cut in half lengthwise, and then make 1″ cubes.
  5. Optional add-ins: Sesame seeds, cilantro, extra chili sauce, edamame.

What You Need to Make this Spicy Noodle Soup:

  • Mori-Nu Silken Tofu Extra-Firm
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Ginger
  • Filtered Water
  • Tamari
  • Rice Vinegar
  • Maple Syrup
  • White Miso Paste
  • Cremini or Button Mushrooms
  • Rice Noodles
  • Dried Chilis
  • Green Onions
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Sesame Oil
  • Chili Garlic Sauce or Sriracha
