Author Notes: Most years on Father's Day weekend, I attend the Live Oak Music Festival, a weekend long camping/music event that's a fundraiser for public radio station KCBX in San Luis Obispo, California. The event is exceptional in every way, and if you're ever in the area during this time of year, it's well worth any effort you have to go to in order to attend.

This recipe was inspired by food I had during my first and second visits to the festival. Wraps similar to this recipe were sold out of a tiny catering van. Each year, we looked forward to the wraps almost as much as the music. Sadly, on our third and subsequent visits to the festival, the there was no Phenom Roll van, the owners having tired of life on the road and retired.

No Phenom Rolls! Well, what else could I do but come up with my own version of the recipe. This one tastes pretty close. Enjoy!

Ingredients: 1 package extra firm tofu cut into 1" pieces
1 cup cooked Jasmine rice (or any other variety of white or brown rice)
1/3 teaspoons dried mint
3/4 cup julienned carrots
3/4 cup chopped red cabbage
1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro
3/4 cup bean sprouts
3 green onions chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
4 extra large flour tortillas
Hot sauce (optional) to taste

Marinade:

3 small garlic cloves finely minced or pressed
1/3 cup soy sauce or reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin

Peanut Sauce:
1 medium onion, minced very finely
2 teaspoons peanut, vegetable or canola oil
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or creamy)
2 tablespoons soy sauce or reduced sodium soy sauce
3/4 cup water
Instructions: Whisk all marinade ingredients together. Add tofu to marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Cook rice according to package instructions.

Prepare sauce by sautéing onion in oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until soft and translucent. Put onion and remaining sauce ingredients into food processor or blender and purée.

Spread 1/4 rice over each tortilla, leaving about a 1 1/2 inch border at the top and bottom and a 2 inch border at the sides. Divide tofu and vegetables among the 4 tortillas and top with sauce and (if desired) hot sauce.

Roll the tortillas burrito style (fold up bottom, then starting at one side, roll into a cylinder).  Enjoy!
