HOW TO MAKE LETTUCE WRAPS THAT DON T FALL APART RECIPES

Steps:

• Press and drain your block of firm tofu for about 20 min.
• Once pressed and drained, crumble your block of tofu into a bowl. The best way to do this is to crumble the tofu by hand. Set aside.
• Toast your rice in a skillet with no oil until it begins to brown. Once browned, place your toasted rice into a food processor and blend until you have smaller rice grains.
• Next, chop your shallots, and heat up a drizzle of oil in a skillet on the stovetop. Fry your chopped shallots in the oil until they start to soften.
• Pour your crumbled tofu into the same skillet and fry for 5 min with the shallots.
• When the tofu is warm, pour in your rice powder.
• Add in the brown sugar, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and salt.
• Add chili paste to taste (it depends how spicy you like your food to be!)
• Fry all of these ingredients in the skillet for 5 min, stirring well as you cook them together.
• Turn the heat off, and prepare your sauce. Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl, using a whisk.
• Chop up your peanuts, mint, cilantro, and green onions before mixing them in with your tofu in the skillet.
• Transfer this mixture to a serving bowl or plate.
• Wash your fresh lettuce, then chop the leaves off the stalk.
• Serve your sauce, lettuce, and tofu filing separately, allowing everyone to make their own tofu wrap at the table!
