Rosemary Rice Roll-Ups

Submitted by Geniale Genie

"Tofu sheets (also known as yuba or bean-curd/tofu skin) can be easily found in most Asian markets, in the refrigerated section - usually next to the tofu. They could probably be replaced by won-ton wrappers or other similar sheet. I recommend cooking the rice in advance, so you don't have to wait for it to cool. Very nice with a yogourt or sour cream based dip (ex. tzatziki)."
