Ingredients
The backbone of this wrap is firm tofu, which soaks up the marinade and provides a sturdy bite. A light coating of cornstarch and panko creates the signature crunch, while the sauce blends soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, and a hint of sriracha for depth. Fresh vegetables—red cabbage, carrot, and cucumber—add color, crunch, and a refreshing contrast to the warm tofu.
