Tofu Lettuce Wrap

This is very famous restaurant P F Chang's dish and being a vegetarian they don't have much options but this is very famous dish of theirs. so when ever we dine there , we always order that, but after that they have same old menu so don't feel like going there again and again. And when you can create same dish at home in half of the money why to waste money and gas to go there. I used to make this dish at home before even I had blog. But after blog I made it first time and there is no better time to share this with you all. I used spicy tofu which I got from Chinese store, but you can use any firm or extra firm tofu. I have added red pepper to more crunch but you can omit it.
