ASIAN ICEBERG LETTUCE WRAPS

Directions
  1. Marinate the Tofu 
    Slice the tofu into strips. In a shallow dish, mix soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, and oil. Add the tofu and marinate for at least 1 hour. 
  1. Bake the Tofu 
    Preheat oven to 175°C. Transfer the marinated tofu to a lined baking tray and bake for 30 minutes. Set aside to cool. 
  1. Cook the Noodles 
    Cook 80g raw vermicelli noodles according to the packet instructions. Drain and set aside. 
  1. Prepare the Vegetables 
    Cut the carrot and capsicum into thin strips. Halve the cucumber lengthwise, scoop out the seeds with a spoon, and cut into batons. 
  1. Make the Peanut Sauce 
    In a bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Add a splash of water if needed to reach a drizzly consistency. 
  1. Assemble the Wraps 
    Carefully peel 8 large iceberg lettuce leaves, usually the outer leaves are best. Double up the leaves for strength, using two per wrap. 
    Spread a spoonful of peanut sauce inside, then sprinkle with 1 tsp of crushed peanuts. Add a handful of vermicelli noodles, some carrot, capsicum, cucumber, a few tofu slices, and fresh herbs. Drizzle with more peanut sauce. 
  1. Wrap and Serve 
    Roll each wrap tightly and secure with parchment paper or a toothpick. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve immediately.
