1tsp Sesame or canola oil
2tbsp minced red onion
1/2cup water
4tbsp peanut butter
4tsp hoisin sauce
1tbsp lime Juice
1/2tsp crushed red pepper
14oz extra firm tofu
1tbsp sesame oil
2tbsp minced red onion
3tbsp low sodium soy sauce
3tbsp fresh grated ginger root
1/2tbsp white sugar
2tsp Sriracha hot chili sauce
1tbsp cilantro
1cup cucumber
1cup carrots
8large bibb lettuce leaves

Instructions

Make rice or udon noodles per instructions.

Take the tofu out of the package, drain it, and place it on a dish with some weight on top of it. The idea is to squeeze out as much water as possible. Let it sit like that for at least 20 minutes.

Add 2 tbsp red onion to sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Sauté for a couple of minutes. Slowly add 1/3 cup water, soy sauce, peanut butter, and crushed red pepper. Stir with a whisk and bring to a boil. Cook  for a few more minutes then remove the sauce pan from heat and stir in lime juice. Set aside.

Add sesame oil and 2 tbsp red onion to a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté  for a couple of minutes. Mix together soy sauce, ginger, sugar, cilantro, Sriracha and add to skillet. Add the tofu and sauté for about five minutes, stirring so nothing burns. Remove from heat.

On a plate, arrange two large lettuce leaves. Top with tofu mixture, peanut sauce, cucumbers, and carrots then wrap into a roll. Serve with rice or udon noodles, topped with remaining peanut sauce.
