Instructions
- Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Set aside.
- Prepare the onion, ginger, basil, peanuts, lime, and tofu.
- Heat the 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a sauté pan on high heat. When the oil is hot add the slivered onions and cook until they start to look translucent. Add the 2 tablespoon ginger, ½ cup peanuts,4 tablespoon soy sauce, and 15 oz chopped tofu. Stir well. Add the 1 ¼ tablespoon Chinese five spice and salt to taste. Stir until combined. The tofu should look slightly brown. Add the ¼ cup basil, 2 teaspoon sesame oil, and squeeze the juice from the ½ lime over the tofu mixture.. Stir constantly until the tofu is done, approximately five more minutes.
- Let the tofu cool for a few minutes. Spoon into leaves, add the lime wedges, drizzle some soy sauce over the top,
Notes
- NUTRITION DISCLAIMER
- Do not cook with the sesame oil, it burns easily and can taste quite bitter.
- We prefer Bibb, Iceberg, or Romaine lettuce for wraps.
- If you like really spicy food, you can add a teaspoon of hot pepper flakes to the mixture. If you don’t like the lime wedges, squeeze a little extra juice on the wrap, or omit it all together. This is your wrap, do what you like.
