Who says tofu must be nutritious? If you make this dish, I guarantee you’ll never look at tofu the same way again.

Ingredients

  1. 1 (16 ounce) package tofu, drained and cubed
  2. 1 yellow onion, roughly chopped
  3. 6 large green onions, chopped
  4. 1 medium red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
  5. 8 cloves garlic
  6. 20 mushrooms
  7. 1 tomato, coarsely chopped
  8. ¾ cup crumbled cooked bacon
  9. 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  10. 2 tablespoons red wine
  11. ¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
  12. ¼ teaspoon salt
  13. ½ teaspoon black pepper
  14. ¼ teaspoon curry powder
  15. ¼ teaspoon mustard powder
  16. ¼ teaspoon dill weed
  17. ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  18. 1 (12 ounce) package egg roll wrappers
  19. canola oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Place the tofu, yellow onion, green onion, red pepper, garlic, mushrooms, tomato, and bacon in the bowl of a food processor. Season with fish sauce, red wine, parsley, salt, pepper, curry powder, mustard powder, dill, and ginger; puree until smooth.
  2. Place an egg roll wrapper on your work surface with a corner pointing towards you. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the tofu mixture in between the center and bottom corner of the wrapper. Fold the corner closest to you over the top of the filling, then fold in the left and right sides. Moisten the top corner with a little water, and roll up tightly.
  3. Heat a few inches of canola oil in a large pot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the wraps a few at a time until the center has cooked and the outside is golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

I have mixed feelings about this recipe. I really liked all of the different flavors going on however I wasn’t thrilled with them all being blended together into a puree. Not only was the color not very appetizing, it stayed mushy inside the eggroll. If I were to make these again I’d mince some of the veggies and fold them into the tofu mixture. Again, great flavor but not a great execution.
