How to Make Asian Lettuce Wraps Vegetarian
- **Make the Miso Sauce:** In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of brown sugar over medium-low heat. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons miso paste and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds. Set aside.
- **Prepare the Lettuce Wraps:** Trim the edges of the lettuce leaves to make them uniformly circular. Stack a basil leaf alongside each lettuce leaf.
- **Prepare the Tofu:** Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the cubed tofu and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
- **Prepare the Radish:** In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup julienned white radish with 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon red pepper powder. Mix well and set aside.
- **Prepare the Bean Sprouts:** In another small bowl, combine 1 cup bean sprouts with 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well and set aside.
- **Assemble the Lettuce Wraps:** Place one lettuce leaf on a flat surface. Layer with a basil leaf, bean sprout mixture, radish mixture, tofu, cucumber slices, avocado slices, and red bell pepper slices.
- **Add the Sauce and Roll:** Spoon about 1 teaspoon of miso sauce over the filling. Tuck in the ends of the lettuce leaf and roll up tightly.
- **Repeat:** Repeat steps 6 and 7 with the remaining ingredients.
