Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons canola oil ( or grapeseed oil)
1 packages (12 to 14 ounces) extra-firm tofu (do not use silken)
8 ounces baby bella cremini mushrooms (finely chopped)
1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts (drained and finely chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (omit if sensitive to spice)
4 green onions (thinly sliced, divided)
8 large inner leaves romaine lettuce (from a romaine heart or butter lettuce leaves)
Optional for serving: grated carrots (additional red pepper flakes)

Steps:

  • 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.
