by

Looking for a delicious and healthy vegan alternative to traditional sandwiches? Baked tofu wraps with Asian vegetables are the perfect choice. They are easy to prepare, packed with flavor, and suitable for a variety of dietary preferences.

Ingredients Needed

  • 14 oz (400 g) firm tofu
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 4 large whole wheat or rice paper wraps
  • Fresh cilantro and green onions for garnish
  • Optional: sriracha or vegan mayonnaise for extra flavor

Preparation Steps

Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into strips and marinate in soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic for about 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Arrange the tofu strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and slightly crispy. While the tofu is baking, prepare the vegetables by shredding or slicing them thinly.

To assemble the wraps, lay a wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of vegan mayonnaise or sriracha if desired. Add a handful of vegetables and place a few baked tofu strips on top.

Fold the sides of the wrap inward and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining wraps and ingredients.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these baked tofu wraps immediately for a fresh, crunchy experience. They can be enjoyed as a quick lunch, picnic food, or light dinner. Pair with a side of miso soup or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
