Gochujang Tofu Lettuce Cups

Caramelized gochujang tofu crumbles with water chestnuts in cold butter lettuce cups.

๐Ÿ’ช Where's the protein? Right here โ€” 26g

  • Tofu (22g)
  • Peanuts (4g)

๐Ÿƒ Sugar-Free Option

Avoiding sucrose and honey entirely? Here's the stevia version of this dish:

  • Gochujang, 2 tspโ†’Traditional gochujang contains rice syrup โ€” look for a no-sugar-added version, or blend chili flakes + white miso + a drop of liquid stevia.
  • Maple syrup, 1 tspโ†’Swap for liquid stevia โ€” about 3โ€“4 drops per teaspoon of maple called for. If the batter or sauce needs the liquid volume, add the same amount of water or plant milk.
