Skinny Vegan Thai Peanut Lettuce Wraps

When you put 5-Ingredient Vegan Thai Peanut Dressing on anything- it’s amazing. These lettuce wraps are beyond amazing! They are also very quick and easy to make which is how we like to do it.

Trader Joe’s High Protein Organic Super Firm tofu is our preferred tofu for cooking. It hardly needs any pressing at all and it crumbles well.

I like to tear the tofu into 3 pieces and press each piece with paper towel- you’ll hardly have anything to soak up with this brand. Crumble the tofu into a hot oiled pan and add chopped mushrooms. I add salt and pepper to give a bit of seasoning.

After tofu is browned, add your peanut dressing and green onions and continue to cook for just another minute until the sauce is soaked up a bit.
