Spicy Lettuce Tofu Hugs
Lettuce is sick of all the Tofu bashin'...so it decided to show it some love.
Ingredients:
1/2 brick Firm Tofu
Shitake Mushrooms
Matchsitck Carrots
Bean Sprouts
Boston Lettuce
3 tablespoons crushed peanuts
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoons crushed red pepper
Peanut Sauce (I'm waiting for Matt to perfect the recipe for homemade sauce, til then I buy the pre-made from House of Tsang)
Dice tofu into small cubes, in a frying pan brown the tofu in the sesame oil. You can use whatever oil you like, I like the taste of sesame oil and it can cook at a slightly higher temp than oilve oil.
Keep heat low and let the tofu cook for a few min on each side.
Until it looks like this:
Then add the vegetables (except the lettuce), however much you like of each. Add the lime juice and cook vegetables until they are slightly tender.
Add crushed red pepper and peanuts and mix in with vegetables and tofu.
Spoon the mixture into one of the lettuce leaves and top off with a bit of the peanut sauce.
