Ingredients

2 servings
  • 1 1/4 tsp cornflour / cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce ((Note 1))
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce ((Note 1))
  • 1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce ((Note 2))
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (, toasted)
  • 1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine ((or sub Mirin or dry sherry, Note 3))
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • 1 tsp finely grated ginger ((sub garlic))
  • 250 g /8oz extra firm tofu ((Note 4))
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 g arlic (, finely minced)
  • 1/2 onion (, finely diced)
  • 1/2 cup carrot (, chopped into 5mm/ 0.2" pieces)
  • 1/2 cup green beans (, sliced into 5mm/0.2" rounds)
  • 1/2 cup mushroom (, chopped into 5mm/ 0.2" pieces)
  • 12 lettuce leaves ((+/- depending on lettuce size, Note 5))
  • Peanuts (, finely chopped (I like salted, but unsalted fine))
  • Green onion (, finely sliced)
  • Sriracha (, for drizzling (highly recommended))

Steps

  1. Sauce - Mix cornflour/cornstarch with water until lump free. Add everything else, then mix.

  2. Crumble tofu - Drain tofu, then cut into 5mm/0.2" slices. Use your fingers to crumble into a mince. Not too fine crumbs, can always break up more when cooking (just like cooking mince/ground meat!).

  3. Filling - Heat oil over high heat in a large non stick pan. Cook onion, garlic and carrot for 1 minute. Add green beans and mushrooms. Cook 2 minutes - green beans should still be firm.

  4. Sauce it - Add tofu and toss through. Pour in the sauce. Stir for 1 minute or until the sauce thickens and is coating the mixture nicely. (If it evaporates too quickly, add a splash of water)

  5. Serving - Transfer filling into a bowl. Lay out on the table with lettuce leaves, green onion, peanuts and bottle of sriracha.

  6. DIY lettuce wraps - Spoon filling into lettuce leaf. Drizzle with sriracha, sprinkle with peanuts and green onion. Bundle / fold, eat!
