Vegan and Gluten Free Asian Tofu Lettuce Wraps RecipeI love yummy appetizers! They are so fun to share and sometimes I make a meal of them just on their own! I’ve veganized my favorite appetizer from PF Changs, the veggie lettuce wraps, and now I’m sharing them with you! Enjoy ; )

Sauce for Tofu

  • 2 tablespoons agave
  • 1/2 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons wheat free tamari or BRAGG Liquid Aminos or lite soy sauce

Tofu 

  • 1 tablespoon safflower or other high heat  oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 14 oz block of extra firm tofu, pressed, drained and cut into 1/4″ cubes
  • 1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, diced
  • 1/2 cup button mushrooms, diced
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8-10 Butter Lettuce Leaves (or lettuce wrap leave sof choice – cabbage, romaine, etc), for serving
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts or cashews for garnish
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions, for garnish

Dipping Sauce

  • 1/4 cup agave
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoon wheat free tamari or BRAGG Liquid Aminos or lite soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard

Prepare lettuce by removing several leaves 8-10, rinse, pat dry with a paper towel and place on serving plate.

To make Dipping Sauce:

Comine agave and warm water in a medium sauce pan. Add the remaining ingredients to the agave & water mix, turn to medium heat and bring to a simmer. Continue cooking approximately 5 minutes. Place the dipping sauce in a bowl for serving and set aside.

To make Tofu:

Prepare sauce first by adding the ingredients in a small bowl and setting aside.

Place high heat oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok.

On medium-high heat add cubed tofu and cook until a bit crispy on the outside and browned.

With the tofu still in the skillet add the sauce in along with water chestnuts, mushrooms, onion and garlic. Stir-fry for approximately 4-5  minutes on medium heat.

Place tofu in a bowl with a serving spoon and serve with lettuce leaves, nuts and green onion for sprinkling and dipping sauce so everyone can make their own wraps. Enjoy!

    I am not seeing the recipes that you have listed. Are they only in your cookbook?

The holidays are behind us and we are well into January. How are you keeping up with your healthy resolutions? Yeah, I get it, with everything going on it's tough to stay away from those sweet comforting goodies be it the daily latte, cookie snack or sneaky soda. But we all know that we need to kick the sugar habit to get on that path to optimal wellness. That's why I love @yoursweetkick! 1K 36

There's no denying the new year is in full swing and for many, it's been tough to get back on track let alone keep up with new year's resolutions. That's why I'm so glad I discovered @drinksunwink ! Sunwink uses the world’s cleanest herbs to create beverages that are good for your body (health, mind and mood) and the planet. Use Sunwink in the morning for wake-ups, to lunch digestifs, post-workout recovery, to afternoon boosts. 1K 34

We have made it to the end of 2020 and that’s worth celebrating regardless of how your year went. 🥳 Collectively we have all gone through the oddest year on record and are all looking forward to a better and brighter 2021.
