Tofu Lettuce Wraps

Recipe

 

Ingredients

  • 10 green onions

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • Fresh ginger (large thumb-sized), finely grated

  • 1 12-oz. package extra-firm tofu, diced

  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped

  • 1/3 C. chopped cashews

  • ½ tsp. Vulcan’s Fire Salt (from The Spice House)

  • ½ tsp. crushed Aleppo pepper

  • ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tsp. sesame oil

  • 2 Tbl. soy sauce

  • 4 Tbl. oyster sauce

  • 1 Tbl. Mirin (sweetened Saki, found in well stocked grocery stores)

Directions

  1. Stir-fry quickly in a hot wok, using peanut or canola oil, adding ingredients one at a time

  2. Combine by tossing quickly, and serve on romaine lettuce leaves. Wrap the lettuce around the filling and eat like a taco. Serves 2 (or 4 if you can control yourself).

  3. This recipe may also be used in our chilly SoCal winter nights by serving with angel hair pasta instead of the lettuce. If you do that, it’s also nice to add finely julienned slices of cucumber, to add some extra crunch.
