Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Drain the firm tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Place a heavy object on top to press out excess moisture for about 15 minutes. Once pressed, cut the tofu into small cubes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Thinly slice the shiitake mushrooms, onion, cucumber, and pickled vegetables. Set the shredded cabbage aside in a separate bowl.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and set aside.

  2. 4

    Stir-Fry the Tofu

    In a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the cubed tofu and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.

  3. 5

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same wok, add a bit more oil if necessary. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and onion, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until softened. Then add the pickled carrots, pickled daikon, and shredded cabbage. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.

  4. 6

    Combine Everything

    Return the cooked tofu to the wok and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together and stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes until well combined and heated through.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Wraps

    To serve, take a butter lettuce leaf and spoon a portion of the tofu and vegetable mixture into the center. Wrap it up like a taco and enjoy!
