Tofu-Noodle Lettuce Wraps
2 ounces thin rice noodles
1/4 cup water
5 teaspoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
8 ounces firm or extra-firm seasoned tofu, thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, cut into matchsticks
1 cup snow peas, trimmed and very thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
8 large leaves green-leaf lettuce
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until just tender, about 3 min. Drain and rinse under cold water. Gently squeeze noodles to remove most of the water. Meanwhile, combine 1/4 C water, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and crushed red pepper to taste in a small bowl. Coarsely chop noodles and combine in large bowl with tofu, carrot, snow peas, basil and mint. Pour the sauce over the salad; toss to combine. To serve, spoon about 1/2 cup salad onto each lettuce leaf and roll up.
