Ingredients

  • Yuba (tofu skin) - 4 sheets
  • Cooked chicken breast, shredded - 100 grams
  • Carrot, julienned - 1 medium (about 70 grams)
  • Cucumber, julienned - 1 medium (about 100 grams)
  • Red bell pepper, julienned - 1 small (about 50 grams)
  • Avocado, sliced - 1 medium
  • Cilantro, chopped - 2 tablespoons
  • Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for Paleo) - 1 tablespoon
  • Rice vinegar - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste

Steps

  1. Prepare all the vegetables by washing and julienning the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Slice the avocado and chop the cilantro.
  2. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with sesame oil, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
  3. Lay a sheet of yuba on a clean surface. Start layering the filling by placing a few strips of each vegetable (carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper) in the center, followed by a slice of avocado and a spoonful of the chicken mixture.
  4. Carefully fold the sides of the yuba over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to create a wrap. Repeat with the remaining yuba sheets and filling.
  5. Once all wraps are assembled, cut them in half diagonally and serve immediately, garnished with chopped cilantro.
