Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps

hoisin sauce

soy sauce

rice vinegar

sesame oil

canola oil

extra-firm tofu ((12- to 14-ounces), do not use silken)

baby bella cremini mushrooms (finely chopped)

water chestnuts ((8 ounces), drained and finely chopped)

garlic (minced)

ginger

red pepper flakes (omit if sensitive to spice)

green onions (thinly sliced, divided)

carrots (additional red pepper flakes)

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.

Healthy and flavorful broccoli tofu stir fry is the perfect easy weeknight dinner! The tofu is crispy every time, and the zippy ginger sauce is delicious!

Broccoli Tofu Stir Fry

extra-firm tofu

(plus 1 teaspoon) cornstarch (divided)

water

hoisin

garlic (about 3 cloves)

canola oil oil

broccoli crowns

salt

black pepper

green onions (about 1/2 cup)

sesame seeds

brown rice or quinoa (for serving)

Drain the tofu and pat very dry with a paper towel, changing the towels a few times as needed. Press on the tofu a little to squeeze some water out, but not so hard you cause it to crumble. Cut the block in half right through the middle (as if you were cutting a burger bun), then cut into 1-inch cubes. Place on a large plate or a rimmed baking sheet and lightly pat dry once more.

Toss

Sprinkle the cubes slowly and evenly with 2 tablespoons of the cornstarch (I like to scatter on 1/2 tablespoon at a time and toss the cubes halfway through). With your fingers, gently toss to coat the tofu as evenly as you can.

Stir

In a small mixing bowl or liquid measuring cup, stir together the soy sauce, water, hoisin, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch.

Cook

In a large nonstick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the broccoli, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.

Add the 2 tablespoons remaining oil over medium-high. Add the tofu in a single layer and cook, tossing every 3 or so minutes, until it is golden on all sides. The tofu may stick together and some bits might crumble a bit. Use a sturdy spoon to break stuck pieces apart and don&#39;t worry about any crumbles. They taste extra delicious.

Thicken

Return the broccoli to the pan and pour the sauce over the top. Stir to combine, then let cook until the broccoli is heated through and the sauce has thickened a little, about 1 minute. Stir in the sesame oil and green onion. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy hot with rice.
