vegetarian lettuce wraps

Vegetarian lettuce wraps with tofu and mushrooms that taste just like the famous P.F. Chang's lettuce wraps. All the flavor for a fraction of the calories!

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.

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

rice noodles + oil

12-oz package firm tofu (340 g)

oil oil

mushrooms (roughly chopped, 226 g)

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.
