These Beef and Tofu Lettuce Wraps are a fun and healthy way to enjoy dinner tonight, packed with vibrant Vietnamese flavors!
Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture for 15 minutes. Once pressed, crumble it into small pieces.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat for about 5 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet with the ground beef and stir together.
Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger to the mixture. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
While the beef and tofu mixture is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Rinse the lettuce leaves carefully and set them aside. Finely chop the green onions and shred the carrot.
After cooking the beef and tofu mixture, remove it from heat and stir in the chopped green onions and cilantro.
To serve, spoon a generous amount of the beef and tofu mixture into a lettuce leaf, squeeze some lime juice on top, and enjoy your wraps!
