How to Prepare Fresh Almond Butter Tofu Lettuce Boats [Vegan]
To Make the Almond Butter Sauce:
- Whisk together all ingredients (minus the hot water). Add hot water to thin until a pourable sauce is achieved. Adjust flavors as needed.
To Make the Tofu:
- Press the tofu in paper towel until it is completely dry. Cut into small rectangles and toss in cornstarch, tapping off any extra. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, add in tofu, and fry, flipping on all sides to ensure even browning, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Whisk together 2 1/2 tablespoons of the almond butter sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to combine and add the sauce to the tofu in the skillet. Turn up the heat to medium and stir to coat everything together.
- Cook for several minutes, or until all of the sauce is absorbed and the tofu looks glazed, stirring frequently. Set aside.
To Make the Mango Pico:
- Combine ingredients into a small serving bowl and toss. Taste, and add additional salt and/or a little squeeze of lime juice. Set aside.
To Assemble:
- Gently pull off a piece of lettuce, one leaf at a time. Repeat until you have 6-8 leaves. Divide the salsa amongst the salad wraps, top with crispy tofu, additional almond butter sauce, and garnish with chopped peanuts.
- Serve immediately.
