Firecracker Vegan Lettuce Wraps



INGREDIENTS
For the Firecracker Sauce:


  1. 1/2 cup peanut butter
  2. 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  3. 1/3 cup sesame oil
  4. 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  5. 2 tablespoons chili paste (like sambal oelek) ++ for more firecrackery-ness
  6. 2 tablespoons sugar
  7. a small knob of fresh ginger, peeled
  8. a clove of fresh garlic, peeled


For the Lettuce Wraps:


  1. 1 container extra firm tofu (see notes)
  2. 4 ounces brown rice noodles
  3. lettuce leaves for wrapping
  4. peanuts, cilantro, lime for serving



INSTRUCTIONS


  • Noodle Prep: Soak your noodles in a bowl of lukewarm water for at least 30 minutes while prepping the rest of the recipe. You want the noodles to be soft and flexible.
  • Sauce: Blend all the sauce ingredients together in a small blender or food processor until smooth and creamy.
  • Tofu: Press the tofu with a few paper towels to get some of the moisture out. Cut the tofu into small pieces. Heat a little oil in a nonstick skillet. Add your tofu. Stir-fry until golden brown. I usually let it sauté for at least 15 minutes. Add about half of the sauce to the pan. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes. As the sauce browns, it will form small crispy pieces around the tofu. Yum! Transfer tofu to a bowl.
  • Noodles: Drain and rinse your noodles. Add another swish of oil to the pan and plop the noodles in. Add about half of the remaining sauce. Stir fry for just a minute or two until coated. Add a splash of water if it’s too sticky. Remove from heat immediately and toss with the tofu.
  • Lettuce Wrap It Up: Fill your butter lettuce leaves with the noodle/tofu mixture (it’s okay if it’s sticky – you’re just wrapping it up in lettuce). Top with peanuts, cashews, cilantro, scallions, lime, and/or Sriracha if you want. YUM YUM YUM!

THE BEST EVER GRILLED CHICKEN MARINADE

Gambar
Ingredients ½ cup oil ½ cup balsamic vinegar ¼ cup soy sauce ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce 1/8 cup lemon juice ¾ cup brown sugar 2 Tbsp fresh rosemary 2 tbsp Dijon mustard 1 tsp ground black pepper 2 tsp garlic powder 6 chicken breasts or 3.5 lb chicken Instructions Combine all ingredients in a large ziplock bag. Add chicken to the bag and place the closed ziplock bag in a large bowl and put in the fridge. (The bowl will keep it from making a huge mess in case the bag leaks) Marinade for at least 8 hours or overnight and grill! Enjoy! (I do not add any extra salt to my chicken marinade because salt will dry the chicken out. ALWAYS salt the chicken AFTER you grill it to ensure. It will need a good bit of salt after it is done) Source: https://www.auntbeesrecipes.com/2017/06/the-best-ever-grilled-chicken-marinade.html
