👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- PREPARING THE TOFU ---
2. 2Remove the tofu from the water and drain from any excess water. Using a cheese grater, carefully grate the tofu into shreds.
3. 3If pan-frying the tofu, heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. Spray a thin layer of oil.
4. 4Leave untouched for 3-4 minutes on medium to medium high heat until golden brown. Flip or mix the tofu to cook the remaining side. You can continue to cook the tofu until there are a mix of crispy bits and those that are still white and tender. It’s okay if not all are crispy and golden brown since this can add different textures.
5. 5--- AIR-FRYING/BAKING ---
6. 6If air-frying/baking, preheat your air-fryer or oven to 350F/180C.
7. 7On a lined baking tray or air fryer basket (I used parchment paper), place the shredded tofu and try to spread it out as thin as possible.
8. 8For air-frying, air-fry for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden brown - do not overcook it since it can easily become too tough and dry. You can flip the tofu halfway through cooking to get even browning. It’s also okay not to get even browning and even have some parts of the tofu still white, since this can add to the different textures of the overall tofu dish.
9. 9If baking, you may need to bake the tofu for 25-30 minutes.
10. 10--- SAUCE ---
11. 11While the tofu is cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing everything together. Feel free to adjust to your taste.
12. 12--- COOKING TOFU IN THE SAUCE ---
13. 13In the same pan, add the tofu (if you air-fried or baked it).
14. 14Pour the sauce into the tofu. Mix and cook down the tofu until the sauce is absorbed.
15. 15Taste the tofu and feel free to season the tofu with more soy sauce or maple syrup, if needed.
16. 16Turn off the heat. Set aside.
17. 17--- BELL PEPPERS ---
18. 18In the same pan, add some cooking oil.
19. 19Add the sliced onion and bell peppers.
20. 20Season with salt and allow to cook until tender to your liking. I like my peppers with a slight char.
21. 21Set aside.
22. 22--- SRIRACHA MAYO ---
23. 23Mix the mayo ingredients. Feel free to adjust the seasoning depending on your preferred taste.
24. 24--- ASSEMBLING THE WRAPS ---
25. 25On a tortilla, you can put some shredded lettuce, shredded tofu, sriracha mayo, and other mix-ins you’d like. Enjoy!
26. 26--- PREPARE-AHEAD TIPS ---
27. 27I like to prepare the mayo, chopped lettuce, sautéed veggies, and shredded tofu then just store these in the fridge for whenever I want some wraps.
28. 28I also make some ink advance then wrap each one in some aluminum foil to bring for meals on-the-go.
