Asian Chicken Wrap
**Ingredients:**
– 1 block extra-firm tofu, pressed and cut into strips
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon maple syrup
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
– 4 large tortillas
– 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
– 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 1 carrot, julienned
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Sriracha (optional, for extra heat)
**Instructions:**
1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to make the marinade.
2. Place the tofu strips in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let the tofu marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu strips and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Warm the tortillas in the skillet for a few seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.
5. To assemble the wraps, place a layer of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, followed by the cooked tofu strips, red bell pepper, carrot, and cilantro. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the fillings.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add a drizzle of Sriracha if you like it spicy.
7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, tucking in the fillings as you go to create a neat wrap.
8. Cut the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap them in foil for an on-the-go meal option.
