Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu Satay:

    - In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic powder, ground ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes to create a marinade.

      - Add the tofu strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).

        Cook the Tofu:

          - Preheat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat.

            - Cook the marinated tofu for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from the heat and set aside.

              Make the Rainbow Slaw:

                - In a large bowl, combine shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, cilantro, green onions, and sesame seeds.

                  - In a separate small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper as desired.

                    - Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to coat evenly.

                      Assemble the Wraps:

                        - Lay out a lettuce leaf on a flat surface. Spoon a generous amount of rainbow slaw onto the leaf, followed by a few pieces of the grilled tofu satay.

                          - Optionally, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for added crunch.

                            - Wrap the lettuce around the filling to form a wrap. Repeat with remaining leaves and fillings.

                              Serve and Enjoy:

                                - Serve the wraps fresh, garnished with extra sesame seeds or chopped cilantro if desired. Enjoy these vibrant, healthy, and delicious Tofu Satay Rainbow Slaw Wraps!
