    Method

    Tofu Marinade

    In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili flakes, ginger, black pepper, and honey until honey is dissolved. Add diced tofu and toss to coat evenly.

    Cover and set aside.

    Cooking

    In a large pan over medium-high heat, add Wesson Canola Oil and heat for 1 minute.

    Once oil is hot, using a perforated spoon or scoop, remove tofu from marinade and add to hot pan. Cook each side for 1 minute, until crisp.

    Once tofu is cooked, add back to marinade, and toss until evenly coated.

    Cover and set aside.

    Assembly Method
    To prepare the lettuce wraps, wash and pat dry butter lettuce leaves. Divide tofu into 4 portions on each lettuce leaf. Top each lettuce wrap with pickled vegetables and fresh cucumber.
