Baked Tofu Lettuce Wraps
Lettuce wraps are the key to easy asian inspired foods on a hot night, or as an easy lunch. The light flavors are lovely as an app with friends and can be piled high with any veggies you like. You could also use radish, red pepper, cilantro, carrot, cabbage etc. Get creative.
I love that these are easy to bring for lunch. Salads can get ridiculously boring, this is basically a salad in a creative form. I suggest bringing the tofu to room temp, it's odd cold and doesn't heat well in the micro.
Take a look at the Baked Tofu Recipe HERE.
Also note: there is "ginger juice" in this recipe. You can juice your own, or find a jar in the grocery store. This is the brand I bought here.
