Tofu Cabbage or Lettuce Wraps image

Tasty tofu recipe I came up with when tofu was on sale and I'd bought a bunch. Even Confirmed Tofu Hater (DD) likes this. A good way to drain tofu is to swaddle it in lots of paper towels and then rest something heavy on top for at least 20 minutes to press all the water out.

These wraps are a great way to get kids to eat their veggies. My kids love the crispy cabbage and lettuce, and they don't even notice the tofu.

These wraps are a great way to use up leftover tofu. I always have a block of tofu in my fridge, and these wraps are a great way to use it up before it goes bad.

These wraps are also great for meal prep. I make a big batch on the weekend, and then I have lunch ready for the whole week.
