Wraps:

Peanut Sauce:
- ¼ cup peanut butter

Instructions
- Mix all tofu ingredients (leaving out the tofu) in a large flat dish (we use a Pyrex, glass baking dish). Stir well.
- Next, drain tofu and press with a press or paper towels. Slice tofu in half-length wise and then cube in ½ inch cubes. Place tofu in mixture and stir well. Set aside and allow to soak.
- Next cook brown rice in a 1 to 2 ratio ( 1 cup rice to 2 cups water). Should take 30-40 minutes.
- While rice is cooking, shred cabbage and carrots and place in a large bowl. Chop cucumber, bell pepper, green onions and cilantro and place in the large bowl.
- In a small bowl mix orange juice, peanut butter, tamari, maple syrup and ginger. Stir well.
- Pour liquid into salad and stir well to combine (don't be afraid to use your hands). In that same small bowl mix all ingredients for peanut sauce, stir well.
- To assemble, take a piece of romaine and top it with a spoon of brown rice, salad mixture, tofu, a scope of peanut sauce and top with seeds.
- Eat like a taco!
