INGREDIENTS & NOTES

#1 Crunchy Tofu Wraps w Roasted Pepper Peanut Sauce 0:42

for the sauce:
2 bell peppers*, grilled from the jar
3 tbsp natural peanut butter
1 tbsp soy sauce
3 4 tbsp unsweetened non dairy milk
spices of choice, to taste (i went for this french herb spice mix, so dried herbs + dried garlic + dried onion + a little bit of salt)

for the tofu:
200g (7oz) firm plain tofu
2 tbsp all purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
other spices of choice, to taste
1 tbsp vegetable oil (get the oil nice and hot before adding the tofu!)

also for the wraps:
3 medium tortillas
about ¼ iceberg lettuce, shredded
a few tsp sunflower seeds
fresh basil

→ yields 3 wraps

*ROAST your own peppers!
lay 2 bell peppers, seeds removed and cut into strips out on a baking sheet, together with a handful of whole unpeeled garlic cloves. drizzle over 1 tbsp olive oil and add some salt. roast at 190C for 25 minutes or until lightly charred. peel the garlic and add garlic and pepper to a blender, along with all the other ingredients, PLUS 1 tbsp white wine vinegar or lemon juice and 1 tsp sesame or olive oil. The jarred peppers come in vinegar and oil, so that would be missing here :)
