Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons raw peanuts
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup finely diced tofu
salt to taste
1 large cucumber, finely diced
5 radishes, grated
1 large tomato, finely diced
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped
3 tablespoons soy sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 large head of iceberg lettuce, leaves separated

Steps:

  • Roast peanuts in a skillet over high heat, stirring frequently until brown, reducing heat to medium if necessary, about 5 minutes; set aside to cool. In a food processor, grind peanuts into a coarse powder.
  • Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat; add tofu and season with salt to taste. Turn tofu frequently until all sides are brown, 8 to 10 minutes; remove from heat. Pat tofu dry with a paper towel and allow to cool, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine cucumber, radish, tomato, water chestnuts, soy sauce, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add tofu and peanut powder just before serving.
  • Arrange lettuce leaves around the edge of a large platter and mound tofu filling in the center. To eat, spoon 1 or 2 tablespoons tofu mixture into the center of a leaf and wrap lettuce around filling like a burrito.
