Lettuce Wraps With Hoison-Mustard Tofu image

This recipe comes from Isa Chandra Moskowitz's book Appetite for Reduction - 125+ fast & filling low-fat vegan recipes. Isa recommends serving this with her recipes Unfried Fried Rice & Five-Spice Delicata Squash which can be found in her book. I made these for some non vegan friends who were weary of tofu but they said these were amazing!! This recipe is very easy & the result is cool & crisp on the outside while warm & sweet on the inside. YUM!!

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (14 ounce) package extra firm tofu, 1/2 inch cubes
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced small
1 small onion, diced small
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or 1/2 tsp if you want more spice)

Steps:

  • Once the veggies are soft and browned add the mirin and let cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add the hoison & mustard and cook for another minute.
  • Assemble: Add the tofu to the sauce and toss to coat. Spoon mixture into lettuce leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
