Vietnamese-ish spring rolls

We made this meal based on a recipe we found on the kitchn, but we modified it based on what we happened to have in our fridge. The intern did most of the chopping, and prepared the peanut sauce, I just sliced the tofu, and fried it.

Ingredients:
tofu- extra firm, pressed, and sliced into thin slices, and fried in the wok until golden (we sprinkled sesame seeds on ours)
carrots- sliced and baked for about 10 minutes to soften
lettuce
bell pepper
baked sliced eggplant- sliced into strips, salted and coated with olive oil, baked for about 20 minutes until tender
cilantro
rice wrappers- we buy these at Manila Oriental Market where we like to go on dates to watch people in the stinky meat department buy frogs to eat for dinner. Its very romantic. We recommend you buy your wrappers at a place with frogs.

While eating we realized we wished we had other vegetables in our spring rolls, like bean sprouts or asparagus, and maybe also some grilled chicken too.

The following recipe is mandatory. Blend ingredients in blender or mini Cuisinart (like us).

Peanut Sauce
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon chili oil
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
1 clove minced garlic

Once you've had someone else do all the chopping, slicing, and preparing, have a beer while complaining bitterly of hunger. Then, once they start moving faster, you can open the rice wrapper package, and be careful not to rip it open and hold it upside down so all the wrappers fall out. You're going to eat those, so be careful. Dip the rice wrappers in hot water for a few seconds until the wrappers are moist, then fill with your vegetables and roll. Dip in peanut sauce and enjoy.

I dare you to try and wrap your spring rolls to make them look like what you might get in a restaurant. The intern and I discovered we do not have a future in spring roll wrapping, but they tasted really nice anyway, just like the real thing. I can wrap spring rolls slightly better than the intern. If you are going to photograph your meal, be sure to stage the spring rolls in such a way that no one can see that it looks like the spring rolls were wrapped in the dark by a cat.
