Equipment

Ingredients

For the sauce

For the Tofu

  • 1 block super firm tofu, cubed (can use firm or extra firm as well)
  • 1-2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoon peanut oil (can sub with another oil)
  • ½ cup green onions, divided

Add-ons

  • 1 package butter lettuce
  • 1 cup red cabbage, chopped
  • ½ cup peanuts, chopped
  • ⅓ cup carrots, diced
  • lime wedges, juiced over wraps

Instructions

  • Whisk all the ingredients for the sauce together in a bowl. Stir until a smooth consistency. Set aside. In a resealable bag, add the cubed tofu and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Carefully shake until no cornstarch remains loose and tofu is lightly coated. Add addition cornstarch if needed 1 teaspoon at a time but DO NOT over coat the tofu.
  • Add oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tofu (in batches if needed to not overcrowd). Cook 1-2 minutes then flip and repeat until tofu is golden brown. If working in batches, move to a paper towel lined plate and repeat until all your tofu is cooked.
  • Add tofu back to skillet with half of the sauce. Stir together and cook until it's been heated through, about 1-3 minutes. Add in half the green onions and stir together. Remove from heat.
  • Add tofu to lettuce wraps with remaining green onions and top with add-ons suggested above if desired. Drizzle with more peanut sauce.
