1 step

These lettuce wraps were my BEST EVER sauce. You could make the sauce for any stir-fry (I know I will be!). If you don’t like tofu chicken would be a good alternative. Use whatever garnishes you like, cilantro & green onions would be great if you have them! If you have time, freezing tofu then thawing will create best texture.
