Crunchy Tofu Lettuce Wraps
Instructions
Step 1:
Press your tofu to remove as much water as possible. On a cutting board, I wrap in paper towel and gently squeeze to remove. Then I put something heavy on top while I make the sauce.
Step 2:
Make the sauce by combining all the ingredients into a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
Step 3:
Now remove the tofu from the paper towels. Crumble the tofu into small pieces and add into a pan over medium heat with the neutral oil. Cook about 7 minutes, breaking the tofu down into smaller bits as it cooks. It might stick, but that is okay! Add the walnuts, garlic, and green onion and cook another minute.
Step 4:
Pour the sauce into the tofu mixture. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to remove all the stuck bits. Cook 1-2 minutes or until the sauce is absorbed by the tofu.
Step 5:
Serve with fresh lettuce leaves, sesame seeds, and more fresh green onion! Enjoy!
