Nutty tofu lettuce wrap is a super delicious and healthy, low carbohydrate options for all those people who are struggling with weight loss. I know a lot of people find tofu a bit hit or miss – when it’s nice and crispy it can be absolutely delicious, but if it’s cooked poorly, it can be really bad, with a slightly spongy, squidgy texture. If you’ve had trouble cooking tofu in the past, this is the recipe for you – nutty tofu lettuce wraps, served with a creamy peanut sauce. It’s impossible to get wrong.
When you cook tofu in big slabs, it can be so easy to cook it badly. But in these lettuce wraps, the tofu is crumbled up before being cooked, so the small pieces get nice and crispy. It’s then mixed with ground peanuts and cashews, red chilli and basil, to give it a beautiful flavour and texture.
Serve it up in a big green lettuce leaf with some fluffy rice and a drizzle of creamy peanut sauce, and you’ve got yourself a delicious, and pretty healthy, lunch.
I’ve been struggling to think of healthy meal ideas lately, so I was excited to remember that lettuce wraps were a thing. In some contexts, it seems a bit depressing to substitute a tortilla wrap for a lettuce leaf, but actually, with these Asian flavours, a proper wrap wouldn’t have felt right anyway. The big lettuce leaves work perfectly as big spoons for the tofu and nuts and make you feel like you’ve had something a bit different.
One of the most prominent benefits of using lettuce wraps instead of traditional tortillas or bread is that the produce has substantially fewer calories. Whereas a Burger bun contains more than 50 grams of carbohydrates and around 200 calories. If you’re looking to go low-carb, lettuce wraps are a worthy solution. Plus, the added hydrating crunch of the lettuce makes for a refreshing summer meal.
