Method:
1. For the sauce: Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a food processor or blender.
2. Purée until smooth; thin out with more coconut milk as needed to achieve the right dipping consistency.
3. Pass through a fine sieve into a bowl. Cover and set aside until needed.
4. For the rolls: Place the noodles in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let soften for 6-8 minutes.
5. Drain the noodles and transfer to a bowl of cold water. Drain again and spread out on kitchen paper to drain.
6. Finely slice the beetroot on a mandolin, set to a very fine setting; the slices should be paper thin.
7. Briefly dip a sheet of the rice paper a third of the way into a bowl of hot water. Turn and dip the remaining section before placing on kitchen paper to drain.
8. Place a tofu piece on the bottom third of the paper before topping with the beetroot, noodles, cabbage, carrot, and coriander leaves.
9. Fold the bottom third over to cover before folding in the sides and rolling tightly. Continue with the remaining ingredients to complete the remaining rolls.
10. To serve: Divide the cashew sauce between serving bowls, topping with sesame seeds and some coriander and mint leaves. Serve on the side of the rolls for dipping.
