I love Chinese cuisine and have been experimenting with using tofu instead of animal products in some traditional dishes. This recipe was inspired by the lettuce wraps from PF Changs but I added my own touch and ingredients that vary from the original. Plus, this dish serves as a main entree rather than an appetizer.

The taste is tangy, a little bit sweet with undertones of spicy goodness.

ENJOY!
