These vegan & gluten-free Soba Noodles Summer Rolls are the perfect treat for summer! They are light & fresh. Best served with a Peanut Butter Dip.
I love the combination of raw carrot strips, avocado slices, crispy curried tofu, fresh salad, cucumber slices, chopped salad and soba noodles. I have a few dishes that I eat regularly and Summer Rolls are definitely one of those! Depending on what veggies I have at home, I make slight alterations.
I really noticed that the quality of the rice wrappers makes a different! It was nerve-wrecking using the easily-ripping rice wrappers, now with the new rice wrappers I've got, it actually makes fun!
Making the Summer Rolls is super easy, once you've figured the process out. I first prep all the veggies, so I don't have to deal with that and then prepare one dish with water (to soak the rice wrapper in), in another wet dish I'm adding the fillings onto the rice wrapper and a third dish to place the finished Summer Rolls onto!
I'm using large rice wrappers, use less filling if you use smaller ones. Try not to overstuff them, because they'll be harder to roll. And try to roll them as tight as possible, so they won't fall apart when eating.
Tadaaa. The first finished Summer Roll!
Sprinkling with black and white sesame seeds is optional (but not really!). So good! Yumm!
Soba Noodles Summer Rolls
Ingredients
- 4 rice paper wrappers
- 1 avocado
- 4 slices firm tofu
- 5 salad leaves
- ½ carrot
- 1.5 ounces gluten-free soba noodles
- ¼ cucumber
Instructions
- Cook the soba noodles according to the instructions, drain them when cooked & rinse them under cold water. Set aside.
- Pan-fry the Tofu (I added salt & curry powder to mine).
- Meanwhile prep all your veggies: Julienne-slice the carrots, peel & slice the avocado, cut the cucumber in slices.
- Let one rice wrapper after another soak in water until they're soft and transfer it on a moist plate.
- Place the veggies, tofu and soba noodles in the lower ⅓ of the rice wrapper, fold in the sides and roll it in as tight as possible.
- Repeat for the other Summer Rolls & sprinkle them with black and white sesame seeds for the looks! :)

I LOVE summer rolls! I just made some a few days ago and tried the sesame seed sprinkle, and that totally made them 10 times better! And soba noodles sound like a perfect filling, I'm so glad those are naturally gluten free :)
bianca says
Totally! However I have seen some Soba Noodles that contain wheat & buckwheat flour! But mine are gluten-free, 100% buckwheat flour noodles :) I'll make the summer rolls again today because they are perfect as a snack as well! So light, fresh and delicious! Yumm :) I can't get enough of them.

Oh-so-yummy!!! Why do I have to come across this recipe at 10:41pm?!?!?! That's way too late to have a cook-up (also, I've already brushed my teeth, just wanted to check what's new before going to bed) and much too early for a soba-noodle breakfast. Drooling all over my laptop now.

Thank you so much, Alice! I've been eating summer rolls constantly since then. I'm so in love! It's the perfect food for really sunny days when one doesn't want to eat that much or that unhealthy (except for the peanut butter dip of course, but it's simply not optional!) :D And now I have to leave this site without looking at the pictures, otherwise I'll end up making summer rolls again today.

12 hours later I am still craving those summer rolls.
Just saying...
;)
bianca says
Alice, you have it so good! Even if you don't want to make the summer rolls yourself, you can buy it at the Loving Hut (Neubau; I had them once - so good!). I can't buy vegan summer rolls in Linz! You lucky girl!
Liz says

Okay, so making these! I love rice paper rolls!
Frankie says
Quick Question: how do you store these if you're preparing the night before? I've made them before, put them in the fridge and they stick to each other and rip. Any suggestions?
Bianca says
Hi Frankie, the best way is to make them fresh (you can prep the ingredients and the next day you only have to soak the rice papers and wrap them). If you still want to prepare the ahead, I'd suggest putting them in a air-tight container (so they don't dry out) in the fridge & separating them with non-stick parchment paper-strips?
