Ingredients
  

1 block firm tofu, drained and pressed

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

½ cup Sriracha sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon ginger powder

1 head of butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated

1 cup shredded carrots

½ cup sliced cucumbers

¼ cup chopped cilantro

¼ cup sliced green onions

Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into small cubes (about 1 inch). Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

    Coat the Tofu: In a medium bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until they are evenly coated. This will help achieve a crispy texture when cooked.

      Fry the Tofu: Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches) and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

        Make the Sriracha Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, honey (or agave), rice vinegar, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Adjust the spice level by adding more Sriracha if desired.

          Combine: In the skillet used to fry the tofu, add the crispy tofu cubes along with the prepared Sriracha sauce. Toss to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to glaze the tofu.

            Assemble the Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and add a few pieces of the Sriracha tofu. Top with shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions.

              Garnish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added crunch. Serve immediately with extra Sriracha on the side for those who enjoy extra heat!
