- Top with thinly sliced cucumber for extra crunch.

Tips:
- Press the Tofu: Ensure you press the tofu well to remove excess water. This allows the tofu to absorb more flavors and attain a better texture.
- Evenly Chop Vegetables: Chop your vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and a more pleasant eating experience.
- Adjust Spice Levels: Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your heat preference. Add a little at a time and taste as you go.
- Use Fresh Lettuce: Choose fresh, crisp lettuce leaves for the wraps. Ensure they are large enough to hold the filling without breaking apart.
- Marinate Tofu: For even more flavor, marinate the tofu in the vegetable broth and spices for about 30 minutes before cooking.
