Baked Thai Tofu Lettuce Wraps

Servings: 8 wraps

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces super firm tofu pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup tamari
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 head of lettuce or cabbage
  • 2 large carrots thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 6 green onions thinly sliced
  • crushed peanuts and cilantro for topping
  •  
  • Peanut Sauce
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons tamari
  • 1- inch knob fresh ginger
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/4 cup water
  • pinch of crushed red pepper or 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven 400°F then line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the tofu cubes to the baking sheet and bake in the oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the tofu is crisp and light golden brown.
  • In a large bowl, combine the 1/4 tamari with 2 teaspoons sesame oil, whisk together and set aside.
  • Meanwhile make the sauce by combining 1/3 cup peanut butter, juice of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons tamari, 1-inch fresh ginger (peeled), 1 garlic cloves and 1/4 cup water in the bowl of a food processor. Blend on high until smooth, adding more water if needed to thin and crushed red pepper or chili garlic sauce, if desired. Alternatively, you can mince the garlic and ginger then stir everything together by hand in a small bowl. Taste-test and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Once the tofu is done, carefully transfer it the large bowl with the tamari and sesame oil. Toss until each piece is evenly coated.
  • Serve tofu warm with lettuce/cabbage leaves, carrot, bell pepper, green onions, crushed peanuts, cilantro and peanut sauce.
