Ingredients:

Serving

1 (16 oz) package low-fat tofu, extra-firm drained
1/2 cup lime juice, fresh squeezed
1/2 cup honey, organic
1/4 cup lemongrass, peeled & thinly sliced
2 tbsp soy sauce or 2 tbsp braggs liquid aminos
1/2 tsp chili paste
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 1/2 tsp garlic, minced
cooking spray
1 head romaine lettuce
12 slices carrots , julienne-cut
12 slices red peppers , julienne-cut
12 green beans
12 basil leaves
1/2 cup cilantro leaf, chopped
36 small mint leaves
3 tbsp dry roasted peanuts, chopped

Directions:

Cut tofu crosswise into 12 (1/2-inch) slices.
Place tofu slices on several layers of heavy-duty paper towels. Cover tofu with additional paper towels. Place a cutting board on top of tofu; place something heavy on top of cutting board. Let stand 30 minutes to 1 hour. (Tofu is ready when a slice bends easily without tearing or crumbling.)
Arrange tofu in a single layer in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
Combine juice and the next 6 ingredients (juice through garlic) in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute, stirring until honey dissolves. Pour over tofu. Cover and let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
Prepare grill.
Remove tofu from dish, and reserve marinade. Coat tofu with cooking spray. Place tofu on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 3 minutes on each side or until browned.
Remove 12 large outer leaves from lettuce head; reserve remaining lettuce for another use. Remove bottom half of each lettuce leaf; reserve for another use.
Place 1 tofu slice on each lettuce leaf top. Top each leaf top with 2 teaspoons cilantro, 3/4 teaspoon peanuts, 3 mint leaves, 1 carrot strips, 1 pepper strip, 1 green bean and 1 basil leaf. Wrap leaf around toppings. Serve with reserved marinade.
