More About This Recipe

  • Well well well…what do we have here? We’ve got tasteful, healthful, spicy-ful, veggie-full goodness, that’s what! Before you spitter and spatter at the idea of a lettuce wrap – especially one filled with tofu – let me tell you that this one is different. No, really. It’s tossed with soy sauce and plum sauce and sriracha and garlic and all sorts of other good stuff. It’s tucked inside a wrap of buttery-soft lettuce. It's a game-changer for anyone doubting the tastiness of tofu lettuce wraps. And it’s delicious. The best part is it’s low-carb, so your post-holiday waistline won’t mind it, either!
  • Of course, this ain’t the only way to add veggies to your daily diet, no sireee. Here are a few other ways to do it that you’ll love so much, you won’t even miss the meat.
