This will remove any bitterness, make it tender and help it soak up more flavor from the marinade. - Meanwhile, prepare the marinade. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, orange juice and coconut nectar/maple syrup to a shallow dish or glass container. Whisk to combine. - Add steamed tempeh to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and place in the fridge for at least an hour, preferably overnight. Toss occasionally to make sure it’s evenly coated. - Once marinated, preheat the oven to 375 F or 190 C. - Grease a baking sheet with a little olive oil. Add tempeh and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip the tempeh rectangles, brush them with the remaining marinade, and bake for another 10 – 15 minutes. Until golden. - PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE: - Place all peanut sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine. - FRESH SPRING ROLLS: - To assemble the spring rolls, add water to a shallow plate and submerge rice paper rolls for 60 seconds. Remove and place on a large plate or cutting board. - Place red cabbage, red pepper, cucumber, carrot, mango, cilantro leaves, chives and a slice of baked tempeh in the center of the rice paper roll. - Carefully fold the bottom and top flap of the rice paper roll onto the fillings. Then gently tuck in one side, making sure everything is nice and tight, and continue rolling until the wrapper is closed. - Serve with peanut sauce and enjoy! ### Search ### Recent Post - [Single-Serve Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/12/04/single-serve-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookie/) - [Herbed Quinoa Pea Salad](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/10/21/herbed-quinoa-pea-salad/) - [Greek-Inspired Potato Stew](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/30/greek-inspired-potato-stew/) - [No Churn Vegan Chocolate Almond Ice Cream](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/23/no-churn-vegan-chocolate-almond-ice-cream/) - [Apple Pecan Cookies](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/08/18/apple-pecan-cookies/) ### Archives Archives Select Month December 2025 October 2025 September 2025 August 2025 June 2025 April 2025 October 2024 September 2024 August 2024 July 2024 June 2024 May 2024 April 2024 March 2024 December 2023 November 2023 October 2023 September 2023 August 2023 July 2023 June 2023 May 2023 April 2023 March 2023 February 2023 January 2023 December 2022 November 2022 October 2022 September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 June 2022 May 2022 April 2022 March 2022 February 2022 January 2022 December 2021 November 2021 October 2021 September 2021 August 2021 July 2021 June 2021 May 2021 April 2021 March 2021 February 2021 January 2021 December 2020 November 2020 October 2020 September 2020 August 2020 June 2020 May 2020 April 2020 January 2017 ### Leave a Reply [Cancel reply](/2022/04/03/fresh-spring-rolls-with-tempeh-and-peanut-sauce/#respond) You must be [logged in](https://mondaydreams.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmondaydreams.com%2F2022%2F04%2F03%2Ffresh-spring-rolls-with-tempeh-and-peanut-sauce%2F) to post a comment.
