Vegan Lettuce Wraps

Vegan Lettuce WrapsOur recipe for vegan lettuce wraps tastes better than you'll find in any upscale Asian restaurant, and using crumbled tofu keeps the wraps light and heart-healthy!

Our lettuce wraps use high-protein or extra-firm tofu to create a wonderfully spiced crumble that holds up to even the most discriminating tastes.  We crumble the tofu into tiny pieces and saute with garlic, basil and ginger with soy sauce, coconut aminos, and rice vinegar.

Dorot Frozen Herb Cubes Make Cooking a Snap!

We love to use Dorot Gardens Frozen Herb cubes when cooking.  The Dorot Gardens brand uses fresh herbs and freezes them in individual squares that you can take out of the freezer and drop into your recipes as needed. Dorot Gardens pre-portions garlic, onions and herbs so you can eliminate chopping and measuring, and you never have to throw out unused herbs again.

We use Dorot Gardens Basil, Ginger and Garlic for our lettuce wrap recipe and add in a touch of hoisin sauce for a touch of sweetness. Water chestnuts cut into small pieces give the filling a great crunch, and use the soft leaves of butter lettuce to make rolling easy.  After cleaning and drying the lettuce leaves, add 2-3 tablespoons of the tofu stir fry to the middle of the lettuce and top with crushed peanuts, fresh scallions and shredded carrots for some freshness.  Note:  If you are using extra firm tofu, squeeze as much water out of the block as possible; it may need a longer cooking time than the high-protein tofu.

These vegan lettuce wraps are great to serve at your Super Bowl party, along with our Thai Coconut Soup and Cauliflower Fried Rice .
