Instructions

1. Put the rice noodles in a large bowl, cover with boiling water, and let sit until softened, about a minute. Drain the noodles and set aside.

3. To assemble the crystal rolls, lay out a soaked rice paper wrapper and put a piece of the grilled tofu in the center. Sprinkle with the peanuts, then add 2 pieces of red pepper and 2 pieces of cucumber, and spread with equal amounts of the fresh herbs. Top with a handful of rice noodles, then fold in both sides of the roll.
