How to Make Tofu Lettuce Wraps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Drain the extra-firm tofu and crumble it into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle the crumbled tofu with shoyu, onion powder, garlic, sweet smoked paprika, and olive oil. Toss gently and spread on the baking sheet. Bake for 15-25 minutes, tossing halfway until golden brown.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and cornstarch until smooth.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sauté until fragrant. Pour in the glaze and let it simmer until thickened and bubbly.
  6. Add the roasted tofu crumbles to the skillet and gently toss until coated in the glaze.
  7. Take your butter lettuce leaves and spoon in the tofu mixture. Garnish with scallions, sesame seeds, red chili flakes, and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
