Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 16 ounces super firm tofu patted dry
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms finely chopped
  • 8 ounce can water chestnuts drained and chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger or 1/2 tsp dried
  • 4 green onions, white and green parts sliced
  • 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce

  • 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce less if desired
  • 1 head butter lettuce leaves separated
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble the tofu into the pan with your fingers and cook for about 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown.
  • Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook for about 3 more minutes, until they soften. Next add the water chestnuts, garlic, ginger and half the onions. Cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  • Turn the heat down to low-medium and pour in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and hot sauce. Stir to coat and cook until the sauce is bubbling, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Spoon the mixture into the lettuce leaves and top with more green onions and hot sauce, if desired.

Notes

  1. Tofu - I call for super firm tofu for this recipe, which is not packed in water but instead in a vacuum sealed pack. It doesn't require pressing. If you can't find this, use extra-firm tofu and press it well before using.
  2. Gluten free - Use gluten free tamari and gluten free hoisin sauce.
  3. Storage - Store tofu filling for about 4 days in a covered container in the fridge.
  4. Reheating - Reheat in a microwave or on the stovetop until warm.
