Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons canola oil ( or grapeseed oil)
1 packages (12 to 14 ounces) extra-firm tofu (do not use silken)
8 ounces baby bella cremini mushrooms (finely chopped)
1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts (drained and finely chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (omit if sensitive to spice)
4 green onions (thinly sliced, divided)
8 large inner leaves romaine lettuce (from a romaine heart or butter lettuce leaves)
Optional for serving: grated carrots (additional red pepper flakes)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the hoisin, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  • Press the tofu between paper towels to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Refresh the paper towels and press again. Heat the 2 teaspoons canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Once the oil is hot, crumble in the tofu, breaking it into very small pieces as it cooks. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, then add the diced mushrooms. Continue cooking until any remaining tofu liquid cooks off and the tofu starts to turn golden, about 3 minutes more. Stir in the water chestnuts, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and half of the green onions and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds more.
  • Pour the sauce over the top of the tofu mixture and stir to coat. Cook just until you hear bubbling and the sauce is warmed through, 30 to 60 seconds.
  • Spoon the tofu mixture into individual lettuce leaves. Top with remaining green onions, grated carrots, and additional red pepper flakes as desired. Enjoy immediately.

LETTUCE WRAPS AS GOOD AS PF CHANG'S



Lettuce Wraps As Good As Pf Chang's image

These are a bit of work, but make for a nice, light and healthy dinner. They're drippy and messy, but that makes them even better, in my opinion. :-) I choose to "cut" my lean ground beef with TVP (textured vegetable protein) to cut down on fat and save cash, but 1 full pound of ground beef would work just fine. The sauce is similar to the stuff they whip up tableside at PF Chang's. I like to serve these as a main dish alongside homemade hot and sour soup (I'll post that recipe one of these days) and egg rolls.
