Ingredients
Serves: 3-5 Time: 40 minutes plus 20-30 minutes prep
Tofu Lettuce Wraps
- 1 block extra firm tofu, pressed
- 1 Tbs corn starch
- 1 Tbs soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbs sesame oil
- 8-10 lettuce leaves, rinsed & dried
- 1/2 large carrot, peeled & thinly sliced
- 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
Spicy Peanut Butter Dressing
- 2 Heaping Tbs creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp sriracha
- 1 Tbs soy sauce
Directions
- Begin by pressing the tofu. Remove from the packaging, wrap in a few paper towels. Leave the wrapped tofu block on a plate and press using a cast-iron on top of the tofu or use a cutting board weighed down with books.
- Press the tofu for at least 20 minutes.
- Then, after the tofu is pressed, preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Unwrap the tofu, drain excess liquid. Cut the block into even rectangles, about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix together well and add the tofu, evenly tossing until fully covered.
- Place the tofu onto a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly crisp on the outside.
- While the tofu bakes, prepare the lettuce, carrot, and cucumber and mix together the peanut sauce ingredients into a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
- Assemble the lettuce wraps with the baked tofu, veggies, and top with peanut sauce and extra sriracha if desired!
