Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz firm tofu, drained and cubed
- 1 cup raw cashews, roughly chopped
- 1 head lettuce, preferably butter or romaine leaves, washed and separated into cups
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 pieces green onions, sliced

Instructions
- Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and press it with a weight for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.

- Remove from heat and mix in green onions and shredded carrots. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Spoon the tofu mixture into each prepared lettuce leaf, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve immediately.
