vegan lettuce wraps

Delicious Vegan Lettuce Wraps are filled with Teriyaki Mushrooms and brown rice- an easy Asian-inspired lunch idea or appetizer that is healthy, vegan and satisfying. Gluten-free Adaptable! Made with Homemade Teriyaki Sauce.

Shiitake Lettuce Wraps

oil (avocado, peanut, or wok oil)

(5 oz) cremini mushrooms, cut into ½ inch chunks

(3 cloves) garlic, minced

ginger, minced

salt

scallions chopped

Teriyaki Sauce

cilantro,

butter lettuce

rice

Garnishes: toasted sesame seeds, furikake or chili flakes

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat and saute mushrooms for  7 -8 minutes, until tender and golden. Remove the mushroom mixture from the pan and set aside.

Add bell peppers, garlic and ginger to the same pan and cook about 2 minutes on medium high heat, adding a bit more oil if needed.

Add mushrooms back in pan along with salt, scallions and ¼ cup of teriyaki sauce.  Stir to combine. Remove from heat.  Allow to cool 10 minutes.  Stir in cilantro.

 Place lettuce cups on a plate or platter and fill with 2-3 tablespoons cooked rice or grain (optional). Spoon Teriyaki Mushrooms over top.

Top with toasted sesame seeds , furikake or  more warmed teriyaki sauce in a bowl, to spoon over top.

This is exactly what I was looking for... something light and fresh and luckily we had all the ingredients. Served over quinoa. Perfect.

Another winner.  One good side of being stuck at home is trying lots of new recipes.  This was delicious. Your Teriyaki Sauce is a must of course.  The only change I made was reducing oil a tad.  Thank you for so many excellent vegan options.  I cannot wait to make this for book club when we can  be together again. We've been doing book club meetings via Zoom - a blessing but not quite the same.  Thanks so much Sylvia.  I appreciate your hard work and dedication.

Simple quick delicious 
Thank you so much!

This sounds so delicious!  I love shiitake mushrooms and love making my own teriyaki sauce. It’s on my list for the weekend!

I made this along with your recipe for the Citrus Salad with dates and Pistachios, and it was amazing! I will make it again! So delicious - and the two dishes really complimented each other with their flavors. My husband is vegan, so it was perfect and my kids added some grilled chicken.

Made this with the citrus salad as per the suggestion of another commenter and all plates in my house were totally devoured. So good for a meatless evening!

I am on my way to the market. I will be making this recipe. It looks sooo delicious. Thank you!!!!

Freaking amazing!! I altered the recipe slightly by only using two cups of mushrooms and then replacing the other half with seitan crumbles to add more protein. I also left out the rice as the seitan made it more heavy. The teriyaki sauce is so good and so simple! Definitely going to the top of my rotation!

Absolutely loved this recipe! The flavors are amazing. My seven-year-old usually doesn't touch lettuce and even she loved it! Tangy, sweet and spicy all while feeling super light. I'll be making this every week now 😃

HELLO YUM. Firecracker Lettuce Wraps that are happily vegan - with crispy tofu bits, saucy brown rice noodles, and a creamy sesame sauce.

Firecracker Vegan Lettuce Wraps

peanut butter

soy sauce

sesame oil

rice vinegar

chili paste (like sambal oelek) ++

sugar

knob of fresh ginger, peeled

garlic,

container extra firm tofu (see notes)

brown rice noodles

lettuce leaves

lime

Noodle Prep

Soak your noodles in a bowl of lukewarm water for at least 30 minutes while prepping the rest of the recipe. You want the noodles to be soft and flexible.

Sauce

Blend all the sauce ingredients together in a small blender or food processor until smooth and creamy.

Tofu

Press the tofu with a few paper towels to get some of the moisture out. Cut the tofu into small pieces. Heat a little oil in a nonstick skillet. Add your tofu. Stir-fry until golden brown. I usually let it sauté for at least 15 minutes. Add about half of the sauce to the pan. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes. As the sauce browns, it will form small crispy pieces around the tofu. Yum! Transfer tofu to a bowl.

Noodles

Drain and rinse your noodles. Add another swish of oil to the pan and plop the noodles in. Add about half of the remaining sauce. Stir fry for just a minute or two until coated. Add a splash of water if it&#8217;s too sticky. Remove from heat immediately and toss with the tofu.

Lettuce Wrap It Up

Fill your butter lettuce leaves with the noodle/tofu mixture (it&#8217;s okay if it&#8217;s sticky &#8211; you&#8217;re just wrapping it up in lettuce). Top with peanuts, cashews, cilantro, scallions, lime, and/or Sriracha if you want. YUM YUM YUM!

Looking delicious! I love the texture! Great recipe, thanks!

Looks amazing!!! I'm working and can't stop thinking about trying this recipe!

Thank you so much for the vegan recipes and explaining how to veganize the non-vegan recipes! I am a long time fan and I am transitioning from vegetarian to vegan this year. I will be making this for dinner tonight!

I loved this! Made it last night and it was a big hit. So much flavor. Thank you for this recipe.

This recipe was absolutely delicious! I used ground chicken and regular rice noodles because I couldn't find the brown rice ones and it was so good. Will definitely be making again. Thanks for another great recipe!

I made these last night for dinner! OMG delicious. My boys have requested these for after school snack today. The firecracker sauce is soooo good, I could eat it with a spoon. Thank you for a great recipe!

You're right, this is filling. In a good kind of way. It's also fun with all the garnishes. Not the prettiest dish, but boy, is it tasty. Thanks so much for this recipe!

Sounds and looks like a real winner. I know my other half will not do the tofu but maybe chicken.

Oh. My. YUM!!!! Definitely my next dinner recipe. Thanks so much for sharing!

Spicy Vegan Lettuce Wraps

brown rice

organic tofu

corn

chili powder

cashew halves

hot sauce (Sriracha)

carrots

Best Tahini Sauce, Cashew Cream,

Cook the brown rice, according to the package instructions or use our Instant Pot method. When its done, season the rice with some kosher salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

Drain the tofu by wrapping it in a paper towel, placing it on a plate, and covering it with a heavy object for 5 minutes or more.

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the tofu and it break down it into very small pieces with a spatula. Sauté for about 15 minutes, until brown.

Add the frozen corn and stir for a few minutes until most of the liquid has cooked out of the tofu. Add the chili powder and cashew halves, and stir to combine. Add the soy sauce and hot sauce and stir until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, peel and grate the carrots (we use this Handheld Julienne Peeler). Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.

To serve, place rice, tofu cashew mixture, and grated carrots within a lettuce leaf, and roll up the leaf.

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.
