8 lettuce wraps
Active time: 40 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes

Description

Stuff crisp lettuce leaves with a savory filling of tofu, mushrooms and daikon radish for an easy vegetarian dinner that beats takeout! Garnish the wraps with julienned carrots for added crunch.

Directions

  1. Combine vinegar, hoisin, soy sauce, sesame oil and crushed red pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
  2. Cut tofu in half horizontally. Press the tofu slices between paper towels to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Crumble the tofu. Heat canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crumbled tofu; cook, stirring and breaking into smaller pieces, until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms; continue cooking and stirring until any liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Stir in daikon, garlic, ginger and scallions. Add the reserved sauce; cook, stirring, until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.
  3. Spoon a scant 1/2 cup tofu mixture into each lettuce leaf. Top with carrots, if desired.
