Directions
Swap chicken for tofu in Step 1.
Press and cube the tofu, then cook on medium heat for 10 minutes until golden, stirring frequently.
Mix with peanuts, sesame seeds, and peanut sauce before adding to lettuce leaves.
- Spray pan with an oil spray. Slice chicken into small pieces.
- Cook chicken for ~10 minutes, on medium heat, stirring frequently, until cooked through.
- Remove chicken from heat, mix with peanuts, sesame seeds, and 2 Tbsp peanut sauce.
- Add to lettuce leaves.
- Slice cucumber and dip into 1 Tbsp peanut sauce on the side.
- Note: I like Whole Food’s Peanut Sauce best, but any store will have their own version! If you want to make your own (100% not necessary!) here’s one: minimalistbaker.com/5-ingredient-peanut-sauce/
