I infrequently have ground chicken simply sitting in my cooler when I am desiring lettuce wraps so I generally need to prepare to either go out on the town to shop or defrost it from my cooler.

So here is my veggie lover neighborly form of P.F. Chang's lettuce wraps. Tofu is utilized as the meat substitute. Tofu functions admirably as a meat substitute since it contains a ton of protein and has a comparative surface to ground chicken.

There are various sorts of tofu including luxurious, delicate, firm, additional firm. For this recipe, you will need to utilize firm or extra-firm tofu. Anything gentler than firm tofu will break an excessive amount of when it cooks.
