Pour boiling water over the glass noodles, let them steep, and drain. Place them in a bowl and cut them in half a few times with scissors. They should be manageable. Finely chop the shallots and garlic. Heat them in a pan with oil. Add the curry paste and sauté. Pour in the soy sauce, let it simmer gently, then add to the glass noodles and mix. Season to taste; it should taste nice and spicy. This is the only way to ensure the rolls are perfectly combined. Let cool. Crumble the smoked tofu into a bowl as best you can and fry it in a pan until crispy. Let cool. Peel the carrots and coarsely grate them. Finely chop the lettuce. Peel the avocado and cut into thin strips. Chop the cilantro (or cilantro) and mix it into the glass noodles. Prepare the rolls: Dampen a kitchen towel, wring it out, and place it on a large board. Place all ingredients close at hand next to the board. Now moisten a rice paper under the tap or in a bowl of water and then place it on the cloth. First, place the coriander leaves in the middle to form a nice pattern. Spread a stripe of peanut butter next to it. Then add the grated carrots. There should be about a 3 cm border at the bottom and a little more at the top. Just before the edge, add the lettuce up to about the middle, followed by the glass noodle mixture. Lastly, and this can be spread out roughly, add the tofu. Carefully fold over the bottom edge and the right side. Now roll up tightly but carefully. Repeat this process over and over again, trying out different techniques until you find the one that works best for you. Peanut dip, sweet and sour sauce, or the typical summer roll sauce all taste delicious with it.
