Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps
There is no good reason why I haven't made these in a while. They are SO good. They're easy. The girls both like them.
So I'm tossing them back in the rotation.
Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 package firm tofu, drained well (Meatetarians can absolutely sub in ground beef here)
1 cup corn (frozen or fresh, I'm not about to judge you)
1/2 cup carrots cut into "matchsticks"
1/2 cup shelled edamame
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon red chile paste
Lettuce for wrapping all of the other fun stuff up in that list
1. Throw the oil in a large, non-stick skillet and turn the heat on medium. Toss in the block of tofu and shred it with a fork.
2. Keep shredding the tofu as it browns. It's going to take a few minutes for it to cook thoroughly.
3. Once the tofu is a nice golden/light brown color, toss in the corn, carrots, and edamame. Stir things up.
4. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and chile paste. Stir well with a fork.
5. Once the carrots are as soft as you want them (I left them a bit crunchy), toss the sauce in with the veggies and tofu. Stir everything up.
6. Scoop a tablespoon or so of the fun stuff onto a piece of lettuce and wrap it all up like a burrito.
7. Glare at your kid every time she reaches into the bowl of tofu and veggies and grabs a piece of tofu. THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S DONE, MILA AND ALEXIS.
8. Enjoy!
