Yuba Rolls

Yuba Rolls are a delightful low-carb Japanese dish featuring delicate tofu skin wrapped around a savory filling. These rolls are not only nutrient-dense but also provide a satisfying texture and flavor profile that will please any palate.

Ingredients

• Yuba (tofu skin) - 100g
• Shredded cabbage - 50g
• Sliced shiitake mushrooms - 50g
• Julienned carrots - 30g
• Green onions, chopped - 2 stalks
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Soy sauce (low sodium) - 1 tablespoon
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Rice vinegar - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Soak the yuba in warm water for about 10 minutes until softened, then drain and set aside.
2. In a pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the shiitake mushrooms, shredded cabbage, and julienned carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4. Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
5. On a clean surface, lay out a piece of yuba and place a spoonful of the vegetable mixture at one end. Roll it tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
6. Repeat the process with the remaining yuba and filling.
7. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and place the rolls seam-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
8. Remove from the pan and slice each roll in half before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions.
