Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glaze

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, grated ginger, and honey. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Protein

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the diced chicken or cubed tofu. Cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 7-10 minutes for chicken, 5-7 minutes for tofu).

  3. 3

    Combine with Glaze

    Add the prepared glaze to the cooked chicken or tofu in the skillet. Stir to coat evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare Spicy Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and sriracha sauce. Adjust the spiciness to your liking.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Wraps

    Spoon the glazed chicken or tofu into the center of each lettuce leaf. Top with chopped peanuts and crushed wontons. Drizzle with spicy aioli.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the lettuce wraps immediately, garnished with additional peanuts and wontons if desired.
