Korean-Inspired Tofu Lettuce Rolls

Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough
Serves: 4 (makes 8 rolls, 2 rolls per serving)
 
This light dish is simple to put together and makes a beautiful presentation. Traditionally, it is served with hard-to-find Korean hot bean sauce but hoisin sauce and chili paste make good substitutions and are available bottled in most supermarkets, in the Asian food aisle.

Ingredients:
8 large green lettuce leaves
1 (12-ounce) package Mori-Nu® Tofu Extra-Firm
1 large yellow or orange pepper, seeded and cut into 16 thin strips
1 ripe Haas avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced into 16 thin strips
2 scallions, cut into 2-inch sections and thinly sliced the long way
2 radishes, cut into eighths
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
4 teaspoons chili sauce
 
Instructions:
  1. Place the lettuce leaves on a platter; set aside.
  2. Set the block of tofu on its side and slice it in half the long way. Turn each half onto its large flat side and cut each into quarters the long way, creating 8 long sticks. Place one stick of tofu on the center of each lettuce leaf.
  3. Place 2 pepper slices, 2 avocado slices, and 2 radishes quarters around each piece of tofu on the lettuce. Drizzle each with 1 1/2 teaspoons hoisin and 1/2 teaspoon chili sauce. Serve cold.

Variation:  Serve the rolls with the sauces on the side and include 1/4 cup bottled Thai peanut sauce, 1/4 cup plum sauce, 1/4 cup duck sauce, or 1/4 cup barbecue sauce as additional or alternative dipping sauces.
