Servings: 12 Wraps
Ingredients
- 1 Block Extra firm tofu
- 1/2 C. Orange juice, I used fresh squeezed
- 1 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp. Rice wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. Agave
- 1 tsp. Orange zest
- 2 tsp. Corn starch
- 1 Tbsp. Sesame oil
- 2 Cloves Garlic, chopped
- 1 tsp. Ginger, grated
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
For Serving
- Bibb lettuce or any large leaf lettuce
- Green onions, chopped
- Carrots, grated
- Sesame seeds
- Soy sauce
Instructions
- First press the tofu, place the block on a paper towel, cover with another paper towel, and place something heavy on top. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.
- While the tofu is being pressed, make the sauce. Add the orange juice, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, agave, orange zest and corn starch to a small mixing bowl. Whisk until the corn starch has dissolved. Set aside.
- When the tofu is ready. heat the sesame oil on high in a wok or non stick skillet. Add the garlic and ginger, then crumble the tofu into the pan. Break up any large pieces with a wooden spoon.
- Saute on high, reducing heat as needed until the tofu is brown a bit and firm, about 8-10 minutes. Add salt, and stir.
- Now pour the sauce into the pan, reduce heat to medium low, stir to coat the tofu. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Let tofu cool a bit, then assemble your wraps. Spoon a little orange tofu into a piece of lettuce, then top with green onions, carrots, and sesame seeds. If you want, and dip into soy sauce if it strikes your fancy!
