Peanut Tofu Lettuce Cups

Ingredients

• 200g firm tofu
• 4 butter lettuce cups
• 1 carrot, shredded
• 50g cucumber, diced
• 2 tbsp peanut sauce
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• Crushed peanuts
• Cilantro

Preparation

1. 1

   Start by pressing the firm tofu for a few minutes to remove excess moisture, then crumble it into small bite-sized pieces using your hands or a fork.

2. 2

   Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the crumbled tofu along with soy sauce. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu becomes lightly golden and slightly crispy.

3. 3

   While the tofu cooks, prepare the vegetables by shredding the carrot and dicing the cucumber into small, even pieces for easy filling.

4. 4

   Wash and gently separate the butter lettuce leaves, making sure they remain whole to act as edible cups.

5. 5

   Once the tofu is cooked, assemble each lettuce cup by layering a spoonful of tofu, followed by shredded carrot and diced cucumber.

6. 6

   Drizzle each cup generously with peanut sauce, ensuring even coverage across all servings.

7. 7

   Finish by sprinkling crushed peanuts and fresh cilantro on top for added crunch and freshness before serving immediately.
