SPICY TOFU LETTUCE WRAPS

Wraps that are healthy, hearty, carb-free, and loaded with vegetables can be made in just 20 minutes!

At the beginning of every new year, there are all kinds of resolutions. Will try to eat clean for a few weeks before reverting to old habits. It’s the same for me.

Ingredients

  • Three tablespoons soy sauce
  • Sesame Oil 1 Tablespoon
  • 1-3 teaspoons of sambal or chili paste
  • Ginger, two teaspoons
  • Sugar 2 teaspoons
  • One tablespoon of rice vinegar
  • Three cloves garlic, minced
  • One tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • Tofu firm, 12 oz.
  • 1 Red bell pepper diced
  • 2 cups of chopped mushrooms
  • Romaine lettuce for serving

Instructions

  • In a small dish, combine soy sauce with sesame oil and sambal, sugar, ginger, rice vinegar, and garlic. Set aside.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Add bell pepper and mushrooms to the skillet and stir frequently until they are tender. This should take about 3-4 mins. Stir in the soy sauce mixture, and cook until the sauce has slightly reduced (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Serve by spooning several tablespoons of the tofu mixture in the middle of a lettuce-leaf, taco style.
