TOFU CABBAGE OR LETTUCE WRAPS



Tofu Cabbage or Lettuce Wraps image

Tasty tofu recipe I came up with when tofu was on sale and I'd bought a bunch. Even Confirmed Tofu Hater (DD) likes this. A good way to drain tofu is to swaddle it in lots of paper towels and then rest something heavy on top for at least 20 minutes to press all the water out.

1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained
¼ cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dry sherry
¼ cup water
¼ cup white sugar, or to taste
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®), or more to taste
1 teaspoon cornstarch, or as needed
2 teaspoons sesame oil, divided, or to taste
1 large white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 (8 ounce) package bean sprouts
1 (5 ounce) can fried noodles (such as La Choy®)
chopped peanuts
½ cup chopped carrot
½ cup green onions, chopped
1 (10 ounce) bag romaine lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • Place tofu in an airtight container and freeze for 24 hours. Remove from container and thaw, at least 3 hours. Squeeze out excess moisture with your hands or place tofu on paper towels and lay a heavy cutting board on top.
  • Whisk 1/4 cup soy sauce, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, and sherry together in a bowl to make the cooking sauce.
  • Whisk water, white sugar, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, and chile-garlic sauce together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch at a time and whisk until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Store special sauce in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Chop tofu roughly into small pieces. Heat 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add tofu when oil is hot; stir-fry until tofu is browned, about 5 minutes. Set tofu aside in a bowl.
  • Heat remaining sesame oil in the skillet over high heat. Saute onion and garlic until browned and any excess liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, water chestnuts, and bamboo shoots. Cook over medium-high heat until any excess liquid is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Add cooking sauce to the skillet and stir. Add tofu to the skillet. Cook until sauce is thickened and all vegetables are tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from heat.
  • Place radicchio, bean sprouts, noodles, peanuts, carrot, and green onions in individual bowls. Place tofu mixture in a serving bowl. Arrange lettuce leaves on a large plate. Put special sauce in a serving bowl with a spoon. Assemble by placing 2 to 3 lettuce leaves on a plate, topping with tofu and garnishes, and drizzling the special sauce on top.

  • Add the marinated tofu to the pan and cook until the majority of marinade cooks off. Add the water chestnuts and scallions. Pour in the reserved sauce. Toss to coat and cook until just heated through. Transfer the tofu mixture to a medium bowl.
  • Heat the canola oil in the same pan over high heat until a drop of water sizzles when flicked onto the oil. Fry the rice noodles for about 30 seconds, until puffed up. Transfer the fried noodles to paper towels to drain.
  • Slice the core off the head of lettuce and separate into individual leaves.
  • Serve with leaves of lettuce, rice noodles, and drizzle remaining sauce over top.
