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
- Prepare all the vegetables by washing and julienning the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Slice the avocado and chop the cilantro.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once all wraps are assembled, cut them in half diagonally and serve immediately, garnished with chopped cilantro.
