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.

LIGHT, & HEALTHY MEATLESS MEATY LETTUCE WRAPS



Light, & Healthy Meatless Meaty Lettuce Wraps image

I just discovered this recipe while on a pms binge haha... needed a 'naughty' treat to fill my tummy while also satifying my cravings while also creating something that was not so 'naughty' so I wouldn't be in tears for gorging down a plate full, gotta luv pms!!... Good News tho!! this was so good and no guilty feelings afterwards, whats not to luv!! Ingredient mentionables: for lettuce I used romaine as well as: I cut mine in half and used only 1 half of them then put the other half of leaves in a baggy to use for something else. For the meatless beef strips i used : Atantic Superstore's Presidence Choice Meatless Meat Strips in Beef flavour. For the seasoning I used a basic Tex Mex seasoning low sodium but you could also use a variety of dry seasoning mixes based on preference- suggestions : mustard, montreal steak spice, ranch, onion, garlic, balsamic etc. * Wanted to also mention that 113.5g is about half a bag of meatless meat strips give or take a bit, depending on what brand you use.

Time 2m

Yield 7 small lettuce wraps, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

7 lettuce leaves
113 1/2 g vegetarian beef strips
2 -3 tablespoons fat free sour cream
1 -2 tablespoon Tex-Mex seasoning

Steps:

  • Since I only had half a bag of meatless strips left I heated them in the bag for about 35 secs in the mircrowave (until heated through but not hot) then added the sour cream and seasoning mix right into that same bag.
  • I placed 1 to 2 creamy seasoned strips on to the lettuce leaf and gobbled it up! :)
  • * If you place only 1-2 strips on each leaf then you really can gobble down quite a few of these and they are quite filling and satisifying, especially if your pmsing and need a little bit more s-a-t-i-s-f-a-c-t-i-o-n in your meal like i do haha --
  • Hope you enjoy !
