While it's more usual to serve rice paper rolls with vegetables and bean thread noodles, to boost protein intake (without breaking the bank), minced tofu combined with shitake and bean sprouts is a lovely and very easy option.
Cut the tofu into cubes and boil in water until the tofu rises to the surface of the water.
Drain and blot dry. Transfer to a food processor and mince until the tofu resembles mincemeat. Drain the shitake reserving 3 tbsp of the shitake water. Trim and discard the stalks before chopping the mushrooms into small pieces.
Heat the oils in a large frying pan and sauté the garlic and shitake for 1 minute. Add the reserved shitake water, tofu, shallots, tamari and lime juice and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and add the coriander.
Cut the bean sprouts to small manageable pieces.
Fill a large bowl with hot water and float the rice paper paper in the water until it's completely soft and pliable. Lay the sheet flat on a benchtop and spoon the tofu mix along the front approx 6 cm along the front of the paper leaving enough paper at the front and sides to roll up and around the mix. Place some sprouts over the top. Lift the front of the paper over and around the mixture, tuck the paper around the sides and roll it up.
Continue the process until the mixture is used.
Note: Shitake mushrooms have numerous health benefits including protecting against heart disease and viral activity, boosting the immune system and increasing "good cholesterol' in the blood.
