Method
1. Process the peanuts in a food processor until a coarse paste forms. Heat half the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook the garlic and chilli, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add the peanut, water, coconut milk and hoisin sauce. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until the sauce thickens and is deep brown. Set aside to cool.
2. Heat the remaining oil in a medium frying pan. Cook the tofu, mushroom and carrot for 3 minutes or until soft. Stir in the soy sauce and sugar. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Place the noodles in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside for 5 minutes to soften. Drain. Soak 1 rice-paper sheet in warm water for 30 seconds or until soft. Place on a clean work surface. Place 1 lettuce leaf in the centre of the rice-paper sheet. Top with a heaped tablespoon of the tofu mixture, one-eighth of the noodles and 2 mint leaves. Fold in the ends and roll up firmly to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining rice-paper sheets, lettuce, tofu mixture, noodles and mint to make 8 rice-paper rolls.
4. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with the chopped peanut. Serve with the peanut sauce.
