Firecracker Tofu Lettuce Wrap is a quick and simple recipe of tofu tossed in a firecracker sauce served on a bed of crunchy fresh lettuce.
This recipe is a melange of flavours and textures. Firecracker sauce gives it a sweet, salty, smoky and spicy flavour while soft tofu and crunchy lettuce adds a texture.
It is believed that lettuce wraps originated in Southeast Asia thousands of years ago. They are very popular in Thailand and Southwest Asia and more recently, their popularity has spread throughout the world. My version draws influence from Chinese food. If you want some banging chilli flavours, try these savoury, crispy and fresh lettuce wraps for an irresistible starter, side dish or light meal.
Seriously, who knew tofu could be such a chameleon. I mean, once it’s prepped and tossed up in the sweet and spicy chilli sauce it’s hard to believe that its even tofu hidden under there!
This is definitely one of those recipes which will become your family favourite. Simple, healthy and super delicious!
