Equipment//

Nonstick fry pan

Glass mixing bowls

Cutting board

Measuring cups & spoons

Rice cooker (optional)

Ingredients//

1 block of pressed extra firm 

1/4 cup low sugar teriyaki sauce ( or regular)

Avocado oil spray

1 avocado, thinly sliced

6 Rice paper wraps 

1 cup cooked sushi rice (I cook mine in the rice cooker, to make this easier if you don’t have one I’d recommend microwaveable Jasmine or sticky rice)

Coconut aminos or soy sauce for dipping

Instructions//

1. Slice your tofu into thin squares, then add it to a bowl along with teriyaki sauce, place in the fridge to marinate for 30 min. 

2. While tofu marinades cook your rice.

3. Spray a pan with a generous amount of avocado oil spray and place over medium high heat. Add your tofu and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and crispy on the edges. 

4. Assemble rolls by dipping rice paper in room temperature water for a few seconds on all sides until they turn pliable but not too soft add a little bit of water to a flat surface and place rice paper on top. Add a spoonful of rice, a piece of tofu, and avocado. Fold by bringing up the bottom-half over the center then the sides, then roll. 

5. Heat the same pan you used to cook the tofu over medium high and again spray with a generous amount of avocado oil spray. Pan fry the rolls for 3 minutes on each side.

6. Enjoy with desired dipping sauce!

Cauliflower is one of the best vegetables to sneak into sauces due to its mild flavor and creaminess. Also an incredible source of vitamin C, folate, and vitamin K, cauliflower is perfect for sneaking in some extra nutrients to pasta dishes!

If you’re looking for an easy, protein packed, one pan meal to have on rotation each week, you’re in the right place! These lettuce wraps are perfect for lunch or dinner, and a great recipe to double for meal prep! 

My idea of “comfort food” looks like an extra large pot of piping hot chicken noodle soup, loaded with all the fresh veggies, on a cold rainy Sunday. This recipe is far from difficult and is a staple for meal prep in the colder months!
