Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
Here are my best kitchen secrets to ensure your Buffalo Tofu Wrap turns out perfect every time:
- Pressing Tofu: Allow the tofu to sit under a heavy object for 20-30 minutes to really extract moisture, resulting in a crispier texture.
- Marinating Time: For even more flavor, you can let the tofu marinate in the buffalo sauce for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat the tofu to maintain its crispness!
- Make-Ahead: Prep the veggies and tofu in advance for a quick assembly. This makes it a breeze to whip up an easy weeknight dinner!
