Tofu Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients
*1 head lettuce or Napa cabbage
*1 pkg extra firm tofu (drained)
*2 1/2 cups chopped shitake mushrooms
*3 tablespoons chopped garlic (fresh)
*2 tablespoons chopped ginger (fresh)
*red pepper flakes
*tamari or soy sauce or Braggs
*salt
*pepper

Directions

Dice the tofu into small bite size squares. Spread them out on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt , pepper, red pepper flakes, and soy sauce. Bake for 35-45 minutes at 350.

When that is almost done, heat up wok or frying pan and throw in the chopped up garlic and ginger. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until they are softer. Throw in the shitakes. At this time you can add more soy sauce , usually about 4 or 5 shakes. Also, if you’d like, some more salt and pepper and red pepper flakes.

Cook about another 10 -12 minutes, then add the tofu and finish up the cooking - about 2-5 minutes.

Wash and dry the lettuce/cabbage and pull off pieces about the size of your palm.

Spoon the mixture into the leafs and roll them up!
