  Put the soybeans into a blender, along with chili, garlic, the remaining green onion, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and add a little water.

  Blend the mixture until smooth.

  Pour 1 teaspoon of cooking oil into a pan, heat the oil over medium heat, pour the blended mixture into the pan, bring it to a boil, then add chili sauce. Stir the sauce until it thickens, add about 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds, mix well, and then turn off the heat.

  Wrap the spring rolls

  Cut the rice paper in half if it is round; if it is square, you do not need to cut it.

  Moisten a bit of water on the rice paper, add lettuce, a little vermicelli, a bit of sautéed tofu, a small piece of cucumber, and a little cilantro. Then gently roll it up, near the end of the rice paper, add the carrot, and roll it up completely so that the filling does not fall out.

  Tip

  • Remember to leave some lettuce as shown in the picture for a more attractive spring roll!
  • Do not soak too much water to avoid tearing the rice paper when rolling.

  Decoration

  The remaining carrot should be washed clean. Peel one end round as shown, then cut a thin slice, and carve into a crest, beak, and eyes.

  Use a small toothpick to attach the crest, eyes, and beak to the peacock.

  You can use a can of beer cut in half, then squeeze it and stab it into the carrot to create the peacock feathers (as shown).

  Decorate the plate of salad with the carved peacock head, add some lettuce underneath and arrange the spring rolls around the edge as shown.
