Ingredients

3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
½ medium onion, chopped
6 baby bella mushrooms, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, rinsed and chopped
1 medium head bibb or Boston lettuce, separated into leaves
2 tablespoons Onions, spring or scallions (includes tops and bulb), raw
2 tablespoons shredded carrots, or to taste

Steps:

Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, rice vinegar, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and garlic in a bowl; mix to combine and set aside.
Place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid.
Heat oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Crumble tofu into the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Add onion and cook and stir for 3 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and water chestnuts and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in hoisin mixture and mix well. Cook enough for the liquid to reduce some.
Serve with lettuce and garnish with green onions and carrots.
