Pumfu Thai Curry Lettuce Wraps

Pumfu Thai Curry Lettuce Wraps

Since learning about “Top 8 food allergies” and knowing that one of my major intolerances is Soy… it has been a mission to find healthy soy-free foods.

Often times a lot of healthier snacks and cooking products tend to be filled with soybean oils, proteins, or sauce especially Asian meals.

The most popular health food item is Tofu! Tofu is a meatless protein that is often used for meat alternatives made out of soybean.

However, just like oil and water, a Soybean Allergy and Tofu just don’t mix!

So, I learned about Pumfu which is a Tofu alternative made out of pumpkin seed.

Just like me to need an alternative to the alternative… wow!

So today we have one of my favorite recipes: Pumfu Thai Curry Lettuce Wraps
