One of the many reasons we love these rolls so much is because of how versatile they are. You can fill them with so many different ingredients. We have opted for a nourishing vegan option here, filled with marinated and lightly fried tofu along with all the colourful vegetables.

Referring to having lots of colours on your plate so that you are getting various micronutrients (vitamins & minerals). These rolls are so full of colour we could should really change their name to rainbow rolls.
