Instructions
Mix tempeh marinade together in a shallow bowl and place slices of tempeh in to sit for at least 30 minutes.
Combine ingredients for chili garlic peanut sauce in a bowl and mix, add enough water until you get your desired dip consistency. Place in the fridge until needed.
Once tempeh has marinated, you can bake or pan fry them. We opted to pan fry them over medium-high heat with just a little oil until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a plate and let rest until ready to make the rolls.
Add lukewarm water to a shallow dish and soak your rice paper one at a time. They only need to soak about 10 seconds then remove them a begin to construct your rolls on a wood board.
To make your rolls, sprinkle soaked rice paper with sesame seeds then layer in cucumber, carrot, red pepper, cooked tempeh, cilantro and thai basil. Roll up your fresh rolls (carefully!) as you would roll a burrito. Repeat for each roll.
