Tofu Lettuce Wrap Salad

So this is made with Tofu, hence the name :D,  but I've made it with chicken as well, and it turns out very well.   I have an electric wok now, too, which I love, but this fries up in a non-stick skillet just fine.

First dice up the tofu (I use extra-firm), then put it in the pan with your preferred oil, I've been using safflower for frying, but I know everyone likes different oils, shouldn't matter much.

While that's frying up, dice up the veggies you'd like in it.  This time I did dice up some chicken that I had left in the fridge too, anything is good, the key is to dice it fine. I did yellow squash here, green onions would be good, carrots, celery, snap or sugar peas, etc.

Also in the mix is garlic, I used pre-diced usually, fresh is best, but I don't always have that on hand.

Ok, here is a big part of the flavor, chopped cilantro....mmmmm.  The amount you use depends on how much you like it!  I could use a whole bunch and it would suit me just fine!

You are also going to add peanut butter, I use Adams, anything unsweetened.  I did use crunchy once, and boy was that good.  I suppose you could add chopped peanuts too.   Just a spoonful is fine!

Another essential, Tamari soy sauce.

After the Tofu is browned, add the chicken and veggies, the cilantro, peanut butter, and sprinkle liberally with the Tamari.

You can see in this picture that I also added a good sized chunk of shredded ginger, I pre-shred ginger roots and freeze them in about 1-tablespoon sized chunks, works great!!

Stirfry and cook until you are happy with the softness of the veggies.

Now at this point, you can wrap it in lettuce leaves, but I find that too messy, so I usually just put it on top of a bed of lettuce, and eat it as a salad.  If I have extra cilantro, I garnish it with a handful, but I didn't this day :D

Enjoy!!
