Method

step 1

Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the tofu until golden brown on all sides. Set aside.
step 2

To make the dressing, whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice and 1-2 tbsp water together in a bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water or add more lime juice for extra tang. Pour this over the fried tofu and mix well.
step 3

Separate the lettuce leaves. Fill them with the sliced carrots, spring onions, radishes and coriander, then top with the tofu mix. Sprinkle over the roasted peanuts and chilli (if using) and a squeeze of lime, if you like.
