My family loves this recipe. I often make it for lunch on super busy weekdays. It doesn't take more than 20 minutes to put lunch on the table when we struggle with mid-week blues.
However, school is starting soon, and I am sure this will soon be in my teenager's lunch box. My husband prefers low-carb/low-oil food, so this is a perfect choice.

Ingredients Needed-
Extra Firm Tofu- Extra firm tofu is the best for this recipe. Just put it in the tofu press or wrap it in thick layers of paper towel or kitchen towel.
Chunks of tofu are prepared by chopping tofu and then coating them in cornstarch.
Lettuce- I have used butternut cup lettuce for this recipe.
Cashew Nuts- I have used roasted whole cashews for this recipe.
Colored Pepper- Chopped red peppers are used in this recipe.
Garlic- Chopped/minced garlic is used in this recipe.
Ginger- Chopped ginger works perfectly in this recipe.
Fresh Chilies- A little bit of spice makes this delicious.
Cilantro/Basil Leaves- They provide a lovely aroma to the tofu.
Cornstarch- Coat the tofu before baking, frying, or air frying.
