Treat yourself to copycat PF Chang&#039;s Vegan Lettuce Wraps right in your own kitchen - complete with crispy rice noodles and sriracha mayo!

Vegan Lettuce Wraps (PF Chang's Copycat Recipe!)

rice noodles + oil

12-oz package firm tofu (340 g)

oil oil

onion

mushrooms (roughly chopped, 226 g)

garlic (minced)

Tbsp ginger

onions

water chestnuts

Tbsp soy sauce (30 mL)

Tbsp hoisin sauce (30 mL)

Tbsp rice vinegar (15 mL)

butterhead lettuce leaves

Optional Crispy Rice Noodles: To make crispy rice noodles as shown in photos, heat about ½ inch of oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Drop a single rice noodle into the oil. When it bubbles, the oil is hot enough. Working in batches, drop the noodles into the hot oil cooking for just a few seconds until they puff up. Remove from oil and set on a paper towel.

Tofu: Drain tofu and wrap in a few layers of paper towels. Squeeze to remove excess moisture, then use your hands to crumble up the tofu. Heat oil in a large saute pan or wok over medium/high, then add the tofu. Cook until it begins to turn golden at the edges, 7 to 10 minutes.

Veggies: Add the onion, mushrooms, garlic, and ginger. Cook until mushrooms have released their moisture and it evaporates. Onion should be soft at that point, about 10 minutes.

Flavor: Add water chestnuts, soy, hoisin, rice vinegar, and half of the green onions. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes.

Serve: Spoon filling into each butterhead lettuce leaf, topping with remaining green onions and optional crispy rice noodles.

These easy, flavorful lettuce wraps are drizzled with a creamy peanut sauce. It&#39;s the perfect combination of light and refreshing, yet satisfying and protein-rich!

Thank you so much for sharing such amazing recipes with the rest of us!

Lettuce wrap summer rolls are the perfect combination of my two favorite summer recipes! They’re everything you love about your favorite restaurant’s lettuce wraps – fresh and flavorful – with all the convenience of a handheld spring roll! These are sure to be a favorite!

Lettuce Wrap Summer Rolls

soy sauce

hoisin sauce

chili garlic sauce, (or Sambal Oelek)

coconut sugar

dark soy sauce, (optional)

sesame oil

Chinese 5 spice

avocado oil

oz cremini mushrooms, (chopped)

oz extra firm tofu, (drained, pat dry, and crumbled)

onion, (diced)

water chestnuts,

carrot, (grated)

garlic, (minced)

ginger

green onion, (chopped, plus more for garnish)

~15 rice paper sheets

butter leaf lettuce

chopped cilantro

Crispy wonton strips

Spicy soy sauce, (for serving)

Toasted sesame seeds, (for garnish)

Place the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl, whisk to combine, and set aside.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and tofu, and cook, stirring often, until most of the liquid has cooked out of the mushrooms and the tofu starts to crisp around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the white onion, water chestnuts, carrot, garlic, and ginger, mixing to combine. Season the mixture with the seasoning mix and continue to cook until the white onion is slightly translucent, and the garlic is fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the green onion, give it another mix to combine, and remove from the heat. Let the filling cool at room temperature about 10 minutes before assembling summer rolls.

To assemble summer rolls, fill a large bowl with cool water. Submerge your rice paper into the bowl, rotating if you need to, until it's just softened and pliable, about 12-15 seconds. Place the rice paper roll on a lightly dampened, clean work surface.

Place a lettuce leaf towards the bottom middle of the rice paper, followed by a couple tablespoons of the filling, cilantro and some wonton strips.

Gently fold over once, tuck in both sides, then continue to gently roll up tightly until the seam is sealed – it’s sticky so it will seal itself. Repeat until you have about 15 rolls.

Cut in half, and serve immediately with toasted seeds, green onion, and spicy soy sauce! Enjoy!

Delicious, I did make a spicy peanut dipping sauce to go with it. How do you keep them from sticking to the serving platter?  I ended up oiling mine. I did also realize not to let them touch because they would stick together. These were doooooo good! Thank you.
