Napa cabbage makes the most delicious wrap, I can’t believe I’m just discovering it! And isn’t everything in life just better with peanut sauce? I mean, not EVERYTHING, but definitely most things! Case in point: noodles. Noodles with peanut sauce will have saved lives. And cabbage wraps with spicy peanut dipping sauce will increase your chances of winning one of those crazy powerball lotteries where there’s like $75 million at stake. I don’t know how or why, but I’m sure it will. So…. What are you waiting for? xx- Sarah {more after the jump}
CABBAGE WRAPS WITH SPICY PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE
Serves 4
GF+ Vegan
Ingredients
1 extra large Napa cabbage
1 large red bell pepper
2 large carrots
2 medium cucumbers
1 (12 oz) package extra firm tofu (always choose Organic tofu if possible!)
1 bunch of cilantro
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 1/2 tablespoons GF low sodium tamari
1 teaspoon honey
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 lime
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes- adjust to heat preference!
coconut oil
Method
– Thoroughly coat grill pan in coconut oil.
– Drain tofu, slice in half and press with cloth until dry, squeezing out as much moisture as possible.
– Grill tofu 5 minutes on each side or until crispy. Remove from heat and slice into strips.
– To create the peanut dipping sauce combine peanut butter, sesame oil, tamari, garlic, juice of 1 lime, honey, red pepper flakes. Mix well. Add water to achieve desired consistency and additional salt to taste.
– To prepare vegetables use a julienne peeler, creating vegetable noodles out of carrots and cucumbers.
– De-seed and cut bell pepper into match sticks.
– Wash and chop cilantro.
– Rinse and dry cabbage leaves cutting off the majority of white stalk.
– Layer tofu, bell pepper, carrots, cilantro and cucumber in cabbage leaves and roll up!
– Use peanut sauce or toothpicks to secure leaves if necessary.
Since I don't have the luxury of making my own tortillas I love using lettuce, cabbage or swiss chard for wraps! Will try your peanut dip. Thanks and Happy Nesting!

As you know, I made the raspberry chia jam last night–huge success, and how could it not be coming from you!–and have already shared the recipe (reluctanlty) with my friend. I wanted to eat that jam straight out the jar; can't wait to surprise the man with it for breakfast on the weekend.
Cheers.

Hi, could you tell me what is low sodium tamari? And if not easily available around, can I substitute it with any other ingredient.?
Thanks
This recipe looks absolutely DELICIOUS and I can’t wait to try it. I just wanted to point out that your tag about this being vegan is inaccurate. Since it contains honey, and honey is an animal byproduct, it is not vegan. An excellent looking recipe, still!
Thanks on your marvelous posting! I actually enjoyed reading it,
you could be a great author.I will remember to bookmark your blog and may come
back in the future. I want to encourage continue your great posts, have a nice evening!

much more depending on the model you choose. “We realize that many people and companies still need to be introduced to Evo – Fit,” said Tom Carlson, owner of Evo – Fit.
As the holiday season opens the hearts of those around me and
each of us catches the holiday spirit in our own time, I am mindful of the comments from my friends.
Wear yourself plenty of sun protection ie: sun cream, hat, glasses etc.
Coffee is packed with anti-oxidants and has a very low calorie count.
Fish is loaded with a lot of essential vitamins and minerals.
This looks delicious! I will be making this, but will sub the honey with maple or agave so it will
actually be vegan. Thanks for sharing!
Just wanted to say that I’ve made this TWICE in the last week! It’s so delicious!!! (And I don’t even generally like “healthy” foods.) Thanks for sharing!
This cabbage wraps look so tasty. i can’t wait to try this recipe, thanks for sharing
