- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp miso paste
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp sriracha

For the Rolls

- 150 g vermicelli noodles
- 1 bunch green onions
- 2 red bell peppers sliced into sticks
- 1 large bunch cilantro or 2 small
- 2 cups bean sprouts

Instructions
- First, make your crispy tofu. Press your tofu, then slice it into sticks. Add it to a bowl and toss in 1.5 tbsp coconut aminos and your cornstarch.
- Air fry at 400f for 12-15 minutes or bake at 400 for 25-30 min.
- When the tofu is finished cooking, add it to your bowl and toss the remaining coconut aminos.
- While the tofu cooks, slice your veggies and wash your cilantro thoroughly!
- Cook your noodles according to package directions, then run them under cold water in a strainer to cool.
- Make your pad thai sauce by adding everything into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Assemble your rolls. Dunk your rice paper sheet into a plate or bowl filled with water for a few seconds. Only dunk for a few seconds so that the paper does not get too thin.
- Place the rice paper onto a flat surface. Add your veggies and tofu to the center of the paper, then roll it up just like a burrito!
- Slice in half and place on a large plate with your sauce. Dip and enjoy!
