CABBAGE WRAPS WITH SPICY PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE

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!

You've done it again! A mouth-watering picturesque meal! AGAIN! Jeeeeeze, Sarah, you're good!

This looks awesome, but seriously, the photos look even better.

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.
