Servings: 3 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 lb. firm tofu drained and diced
- 1 large carrot julienned
- 1 red bell pepper julienned
- 2 - 3 green onions sliced with white and green parts separated
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 handful cashews
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 1 head romaine lettuce washed and dried
Instructions
- Add one tablespoon of olive oil into a skillet. Add the tofu and sauté until golden and crispy on the sides. Remove the tofu from the pan and set it aside.
- Add the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil into a large skillet, and add the carrot and red bell pepper. Sauté for a couple of minutes until slightly soft. Next, add the sliced green onion (the white part) and minced garlic. Stir for 2 more minutes until fragrant and soft.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and add tofu, cashews, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and some slices of the green part of the green onion. Stir to combine.
- Fill your lettuce with the tofu filling and enjoy!
Notes
- For spicy wraps, add some chili flakes in step 3.
- Romaine lettuce is the best for these recipes, but Boston, bibb, or even leaf iceberg lettuce would work.
- Cashew nuts can be natural or roasted and easily replaced with roasted peanuts.
