Ingredients
  

1 block firm tofu, pressed and drained

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

1 red bell pepper, finely diced

1 small carrot, grated

3 green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1 head of butter or iceberg lettuce, leaves carefully separated and washed

Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

For the Peach Glaze:

1 cup ripe peaches, diced (fresh or canned, drained)

1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional for thickening)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu: Begin by cutting the pressed tofu into small, even cubes. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and sauté for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the tofu begins to develop a golden-brown crust.

    Flavor the Tofu: Once the tofu is golden, incorporate the minced garlic and fresh ginger. Stir constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant. Next, add the soy sauce, ensuring all the tofu gets an even coating. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.

      Incorporate Veggies: Stir in the finely diced red bell pepper, grated carrot, and chopped green onions. Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet still retain their crispness. Remove the skillet from heat and finish by sprinkling sesame seeds on top for added crunch.

        Make the Peach Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the diced peaches, honey, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt over medium heat. Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, until the peaches soften and start to release their juices. If you prefer a thicker glaze, gently stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the glaze thickens. Once done, remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take a clean lettuce leaf and place a generous portion of the tofu and vegetable mixture in the center. Drizzle the peach glaze generously over the filling. Carefully fold the sides of the leaf over the filling to form a delightful wrap.

            Serve: Arrange your beautifully crafted lettuce wraps on a serving platter. Serve them immediately while fresh and crisp. These wraps make a fantastic light meal or an enticing appetizer for sharing!
