Wrap Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the tofu for 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into small cubes.

  2. 2

    Make the Sweet Soy Ginger Glaze

    In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, grated ginger, honey (or maple syrup), and minced garlic. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tofu

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and sauté until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Pour the sweet soy ginger glaze over the tofu and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until well coated.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add diced red bell pepper and grated carrots. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Wraps

    Place a spoonful of the tofu and vegetable mixture onto a butter lettuce leaf. Top with chopped peanuts and crispy wonton strips.
