One 14-ounce block extra firm tofu – minimally pressed to remove water

about 2 cups cooked brown rice and/or quinoa or other grains – I use the 8.5 ounce precooked packages so it’s very, very easy

butter lettuce or leaf lettuce for wrapping

spicy mayo (see notes)

chopped peanuts or crispy onions for topping

1/2 cup teriyaki sauce

1/4 cup peanut butter

a squirt of Sriracha or other chile sauce if you want

Heat a few swishes of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the tofu and crumble in the pan. Cook until slightly browned. While that’s cooking, whisk up all sauce ingredients in a bowl.

Add the rice and most of the sauce to the pan. Sauté for 5 minutes or so – just enough to get some browning / light caramelization and get everything nice and yummy. Season with salt to taste.

Spoon your tofu and brown rice filling into crispy little pieces of lettuce. Top with something crunchy (peanuts? crispy onions?) and something creamy (spicy mayo all the way) and drizzle with a little extra sauce, and now tell me this isn’t your favorite meal of the week.
