Ingredients
Scale
Tofu:
- 16 oz extra firm tofu, drained and patted dry
- 2 tbsp low sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tbsp miso
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp coconut sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil (toasted or regular)
Wraps:
- 1 large bunch collard greens
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, julienned
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced purple cabbage
- 2 carrots, julienned
- 1/2 of an English cucumber, julienned
- 5 radishes, julienned
- Optional: microgreens, cilantro and scallions
Almond Miso Sauce:
- 1/4 cup creamy almond butter
- 2 tbsp low sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tbsp miso
- 2 tsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 tsp sriracha
- 1/2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1/4 tsp powdered ginger (or fresh grated)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (or 1 clove, finely minced)
- 1 tbsp water
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Drain tofu well and pat thoroughly dry. If you have time, wrap tofu in a clean towel and set something heavy on top (like a skillet) for 20 minutes to remove as much moisture as possible.
- Slice tofu into 1/2-inch strips. Whisk together tamari, miso, rice vinegar, coconut sugar and sesame oil and brush onto tofu.
- Heat a skillet to medium and add tofu. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, brushing with more marinade while it cooks, until crispy and browned.
- Meanwhile, prep all vegetables for wraps.
- Whisk together all ingredients for almond miso sauce until smooth and creamy.
- Trim the tough spine of each collard green leaf, slicing lengthwise so that the spine lays as flat as the rest of the leaf. You should be able to easily bend the spine without any cracking.
- Fill a shallow pot or pan with a few inches of water and bring to a simmer. Blanch each collard green leaf (one at a time) in simmering water for 20-30 seconds, until bright green and slightly tender. Don't leave it in for too long, otherwise it will be too soft. Let cool slightly.
- To assemble the wraps, lay the collard green leaf on a flat surface. Arrange the filling in the bottom middle, then fold over the left and right sides and roll up until there are about 4 inches left. Spread about 1/2 tbsp of sauce on top of leaf, then finish rolling to seal. Slice and enjoy! (**Visual guide in blog post**)
Notes
