Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sauté for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Stir in shredded cabbage and carrot, cooking for another 3 minutes until just softened.
  3. Add crumbled tofu and soy sauce, mixing well and cooking until heated through (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Fill a shallow dish with cold water and dip one rice paper sheet for 10-15 seconds until pliable.
  5. Place the softened rice paper on a clean surface, spoon ¼-⅓ cup of the filling onto the lower third, fold sides in and roll tightly like a burrito.
  6. Preheat air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 5 minutes; line basket with parchment paper.
  7. Arrange rice paper rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch.
  8. Spray rolls lightly with cooking spray; air fry for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  9. Once golden brown and crispy, let cool for a few minutes before serving with dipping sauce.
