Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 pound extra firm tofu, chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 1 8-ounce can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce or Bragg's Liquid Aminos
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • bibb or iceberg lettuce cups

Method
 

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion, ginger and garlic and saute for 5 minutes, until the onions are soft.
  3. Add the tofu and water chestnuts and cook 4 minutes, until heated through.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce, carrots and green onions.
  5. Serve in lettuce cups and top with chopped peanuts.

Notes

- For extra crispiness, ensure your lettuce cups are thoroughly dried before serving.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the ginger and garlic.
- Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
