Asian Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients:
4 tbs. Water, divided
2 tbs. Minced garlic
1 tbs. Grated or finely minced fresh ginger
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1 package extra-firm tofu
1 tbs. Chili paste
2 tbs. Light brown sugar
2 tsp sesame seeds
10 Boston bibb of butter lettuce leaves, rinsed and patted dry
10 basil leaves
2 small cucumbers, peeled and julienned
2 tbs. Light miso paste

Directions:
Heat 2 tablespoons water in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, and cook for 2 minutes, until they soften. Add red pepper and carrot, and cook for another minute.

Meanwhile, crumble tofu in a separate bowl until pretty small, resembling breadcrumbs. Add to sauté pan, and cook for 10 minutes, thoroughly combining with vegetables. Add chili paste, and stir to combine.

To make miso sauce, place brown sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons water in a saucepan, and dissolve over low-medium heat. Remove from heat, and stir in miso paste and sesame seeds. Add to tofu mixture and thoroughly combine.

To make wraps, trim edges of lettuce leaves to make them uniform. Add basil and cucumber before adding mix.
