Red Curry Tempeh Summer Rolls served with manchurian or tonkatsu or peanut sauce | Vegan Richa #vegan #glutenfree

I am getting better at rolling up Summer Rolls! They are a great way to finish up stuff from the refrigerator without spending too much time standing near the hot kitchen stove. 

I used 3 grain Tempeh for the rolls. Tempeh was steamed and marinated in red curry, maple, soy sauce marinade and cooked until the marinade thickened. Then I went to the fridge and shredded, sliced whatever I had. 

Folded up in the roll and served with manchurian sauce pictured (sauce with veggie cabbage balls from the book). These rolls can also be served with a delicious tonkatsu sauce or Thai Peanut butter sauce.

In other news, ever wonder What happens to balloons that float away? Helium balloons or other colorful balloons? Everything that goes up, comes down. 
Balloons, even though some are biodegradable, take years to degrade. In that time, they kill countless animals and cause dangerous power outages. Sea turtles, dolphins, whales, fish and birds have been reported with balloons in their stomachs and ribbons and strings can lead to entanglement, causing death.

Also, today is the release day of Unity. A film by the writer director of Earthlings. Unity takes an in-depth look at what it truly means to be human. The film presents a message of love, tragedy and hope, all set against the backdrop of some of the most compelling 20th and 21st century footage imaginable. Watch the trailer here, and find a screening near you here.

    These look fantastic. I am always looking for new tempeh recipes. I have one on my site for peanut tempeh lettuce wraps. Peanuts and tempeh go so well together. I love the curry idea. And I make rice paper rolls all the time. I made your celery and black pepper tofu tonight for dinner. It was great! Thank you for the wonderful recipes.

    Thank you for the information on balloons and the Unity film. We believe releasing balloons will not hurt anyone, but it truly does affect other life (and our future).

    Richa, you changed my life! Your suggestion to use two pieces of rice paper to make rolls….took what used to be a frustrating mess for me and turned me into a seriously great Vietnamese garden roll maker!! Your recipes in general are delicious and low drama, and this is the best example of that. Thank you so very much!

    Will these work for a packed lunch (not get mushy and such)?

      Yes, summer rolls should work for lunches. Cover them with a damp paper towel, then wrap well in plastic wrap, or just tightly in plastic, so they dont dry out and retain shape.
