AMAZING vegetarian lettuce wraps
Recipe video. The meat-free version of Chinese san choy bow. You never knew vegetarian lettuce wraps could be so delicious. I never knew either, until I made these! Crumbled tofu lends the filling a meaty texture while vegetables add lovely texture, all smothered in a glossy, savoury sauce. Vegetarian food (and healthy, no less!) was never so delicious. And interesting. And easy. It's AMAZING!Feel free to substitute the veg with other sauté-able vegetables of choice.

2
Crumble tofu - Drain tofu, then cut into 5mm/0.2" slices. Use your fingers to crumble into a mince. Not too fine crumbs, can always break up more when cooking (just like cooking mince/ground meat!).
3
Filling - Heat oil over high heat in a large non stick pan. Cook onion, garlic and carrot for ⏱️ 1 minute. Add green beans and mushrooms. Cook ⏱️ 2 minutes - green beans should still be firm.
