These are particularly good with "Citrus Soy Dip." No time for frying? Substitute store-bought smoked tofu (find at Chinese and Vietnamese markets). To turn these rolls into a fun party appetizer, set out the fillings and a metal bowl of warm (about 100°) water, and let your guests roll their own.

Crisp Tofu, Shiitake, and Spinach Summer Rolls

10-oz. block firm tofu

garlic cloves, minced

sesame oil

soy sauce

shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps sliced

green onions, sliced

mint

cilantro

rice paper wrappers (8 in. diameter)

 Cut tofu into 1/4-in.-thick slices, then gently press dry between doubled paper towels.

 Whisk 2 tbsp. grapeseed oil, garlic, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a wide, shallow bowl. Dip tofu slices in marinade to coat both sides. Heat 1 tbsp. grapeseed oil in a frying pan over medium heat; cook tofu until golden and crisp, 15 minutes. Let cool; slice lengthwise into thin strips.

 Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tbsp. grapeseed oil in frying pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

 Dip a rice paper wrapper in warm water for a few seconds--just until it's pliable. Lay on plate and let sit 10 to 15 seconds, so the water soaks in.

 Layer one-sixth of fillings on the bottom third of the wrapper, starting with spinach.

 Lift filled edge up and over fillings and keep rolling it away from you, tucking fillings in firmly but gently and folding in the sides. (Stretching the wrapper as you roll helps.) Repeat with remaining ingredients.
