Ingredients
Method
- Pat tofu dry, crumble into small pieces and toss with cornflour. Heat oil in a skillet and cook tofu for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp.
- Mix soy sauce, maple syrup and vinegar, then toss through tofu off the heat.
- Wash and dry lettuce leaves. Fill with carrot and tofu and serve immediately.
A little note
Use sturdy little gem or butter lettuce leaves that can hold a scoop of filling.
Cooking tips
- Dry the tofu before crumbling so the cornflour coats its surface instead of forming wet clumps.
- Add sauce off the heat and fill dry lettuce leaves just before serving to preserve the contrast in textures.
