Tofu Peanut Sauce Wraps

TOFU PEANUT SAUCE WRAPS 

Homemade peanut sauce is so delicious and pretty easy to make.  You can use any peanut butter you want, including crunchy, but I beg of you to puh-leeze buy organic.  No Jiffy - that stuff is mostly sugar that you and your kids do not need.  Check the ingredients on peanut butter.  There should be no more than 3 ingredients and not one of them should be sugar.

Homemade peanut sauce:

* 1 Tablespoon vegetable or olive oil

* 2 garlic clove minced

* 3/4 cup organic peanut butter

* 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk

* 1/4 cup vegetable stock or water

* 1 Tablespoon sugar

* 3 Tablespoons soy sauce

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat.  Add garlic until aromatic, around 30 seconds.  Whisk in all remaining ingredients and turn heat to medium.  Once the ingredients are combined, let the sauce simmer until sauce is thick but still pourable, about 5 minutes.  This sauce can be stored for 2 days in the refrigerator.

Tofu Wraps:

* 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil

* 1 container of organic extra-firm tofu (14 oz.), tofu cut into strips (about 1"x1"x3")

* 2 cups chopped Napa cabbage

* 1 cup baby spinach

* 1/2 cup shredded carrots

* 3 radishes, julienned

* 3 tablespoons rice vinegar

* 1 tablespoons soy sauce 

* 1 tablespoon canola oil

* Sriracha or other spicy sauce to taste (optional)

1 package of wraps, burrito-sized (about 10-inch).  Use whatever wraps you want, but again, I'm going to suggest whole wheat.  Look at the ingredient list!

Saute tofu in heated oil until brown on both sides, about 10 minutes.

Mix cabbage, spinach, carrot and radishes in a medium bowl.

Whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce and canola oil in a small bowl.  Pour over the cabbage mixture and let stand for 5 minutes.

For each wrap, spread about a tablespoon of peanut sauce.  Lay about 1/2 cup of the cabbage mixture and 2 - 4 tofu strips on top of the peanut sauce.  Fold the edges and wrap.  You can also warm the wrap with peanut sauce in the microwave before laying the cabbage and tofu.  Serve with a side of peanut sauce for dipping.
