Ingredients
1
tablespoon
sesame oil
2
garlic cloves
minced
14
oz
extra firm tofu
pressed and crumbled
1
tablespoon
soy sauce
1
tablespoon
hoisin sauce
or your favorite stir-fry sauce
1
carrot
small grated
1
cup
red cabbage
shredded
1
head
butter lettuce
or romaine, separated into leaves
1
tablespoon
sesame seeds
for garnish
Instructions
Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add crumbled tofu and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and dry.
Stir in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, shredded carrot, and red cabbage. Cook for 2–3 more minutes until the cabbage softens slightly. Remove from heat.
Spoon warm tofu filling into individual lettuce leaves. Top with sesame seeds and any extra shredded veggies if desired.
Serve immediately while the filling is warm and the lettuce is crisp.
Notes
Use butter lettuce for soft wraps or romaine for more crunch.
For extra heat, drizzle with sriracha or add chopped chili.
Crumble tofu by hand or with a fork for a better texture than dicing.
Store tofu filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat before assembling.
