Baked Thai Tofu Lettuce Wraps- baked tofu cubes are tossed in tamari and served in crisp lettuce leaves with a peanut-ginger-lime sauce. Light, satisfying and only takes 35 minutes to make! (vegan, gluten-free and grain-free)
Hello! I hope you all had a nice long holiday weekend.
I took a few days off from the blog so that I could disconnect and spend time with my family while we were in Florida. It was fun while it lasted but I’m very happy to be home. I missed you guys! And Coco, of course.
Actually there was a girl traveling with a larger dog on our flight which she had registered as an Emotional Support Animal. She didn’t buy a seat for it or anything, it just laid right underneath her feet. I had no clue they allowed that but you can bet I’m going to research how to get Coco registered. I may have a slight case of separation anxiety. ;)
Anyways, I’m not sure if it was the same for you guys but it felt like this weekend brought summertime right along with it. Florida was ridiculously hot and then as soon as we got home a heat-wave hit Northern California.
Warmer weather instantly puts me in the mood for light and easy meals like these Baked Thai Tofu Lettuce Wraps. The cold lettuce with crisp vegetables, baked tamari tofu and peanut-ginger-lime sauce tastes so refreshing and delicious together. But my favorite part is that they only take about 35 minutes and two bowls to make.
The cubed tofu bakes for 25 minutes which gives you plenty of time to chop the vegetables and prepare the peanut sauce. When it’s done baking, you toss it with a little tamari and sesame oil in a large bowl so that it absorbs those flavors while it’s still warm. Then everything is ready to serve!
If you’re in the mood for something light and refreshing that will still leave you feeling satisfied then you are going to love these wraps. I hope you enjoy them!
