Prepare the ingredients
First, prepare a bowl of cold water and soak the wood ear mushrooms in it. Soak the mushrooms for about 15 – 20 minutes, then take them out, rinse them well, and let them drain. After that, chop the mushrooms into small pieces.
Remove the damaged parts of the la lot leaves and coriander, rinse them with clean water, and let them drain. Chop the coriander finely.
Wash the tofu and cut it into small square pieces.
How to properly soak wood ear mushrooms:
- To use dried wood ear mushrooms, you first need to soak them in cold water so that they expand evenly; do not soak them in warm water as it can produce toxins that are harmful to the body.
- You should only soak the mushrooms for about 3 – 4 hours. Avoid soaking them for too long or leaving them overnight as this can cause the mushrooms to produce harmful toxins.
-
Mix the filling
Add the entire amount of tofu, wood ear mushrooms, and coriander into a bowl. Add 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of MSG to the mixture.
Use your hands to mash the tofu, then mix everything well to create the filling for the rolls.

Roll the filling
Take 2 teaspoons of the filling and place it in the center of the pepper leaf, then roll it tightly so that the filling does not fall out.

Fry the pepper leaf rolls
Place a pan on the stove and add 5 tablespoons of soybean oil, heating it over low heat.
When the oil is hot, add the rolls. Flip the rolls frequently to ensure they cook evenly and avoid burning. Fry until the rolls are firm.
Prepare a plate lined with paper towels and place the rolls on it. And then the vegetarian pepper leaf rolls are complete.
