This is how you make it
- Cut the smoked tofu into the smallest possible cubes. Place in a bowl.
- Add the vegan mayonnaise, sriracha, maple syrup, black sesame seeds, paprika, pepper and salt to the tofu.
- Dice the avocado. Stir through the tofu mayonnaise mix to make a creamy dip.
- Taste and add some more pepper, salt, sriracha or paprika to taste if necessary.
- Then make the rice paper chips. Put a saucepan or frying pan on the heat. If you use a saucepan, you will need less oil, but you can only fry 1 piece of rice paper at a time. Make sure you have a layer of about 1 cm of oil in the pan.
- Wait until the oil is hot but not about to burn.
- Cut the brown rice paper into quarters.
- Add a piece of rice paper to the pan. The rice paper will curl up in a few seconds. Make sure the oil hits the whole piece of rice paper as quickly as possible. Once the rice paper is crispy, remove it from the pan immediately.
- Place on a piece of kitchen paper to drain.
- Repeat this process with all the pieces of rice paper.
- Serve immediately. Put a tablespoon of the tofu mixture on a piece of rice paper chips and eat it as a snack.
Tip(s)
- Make sure the oil is medium hot. Definitely not too hot. The oil is hot enough when the rice paper immediately curls up.
- Do not deep-fry too many rice paper chips at once to maintain the temperature of the oil.
- Serve the chips immediately after they are fried for the best crunch. If you plan to serve them at a later time, heat them briefly in the oven to make them crispy again.
- This trick works with both white and brown rice paper, but white rice paper gives just a bit more firmness.
