Ingredients
1 head iceberg lettuce
1 pound marinated tofu cut into very small
squares
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
Asian chile pepper sauce (optional)
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and
finely chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 teaspoons sesame oil
Directions
Rinse whole lettuce leaves and pat dry, being careful not to tear
them. Set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the tofu in 1
tablespoon of oil, stirring often, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from
the heat and set aside to cool. Cook the onion in the same pan,
adding more oil if necessary, stirring frequently. Add the garlic, soy
sauce, hoisin sauce, vinegar, and chile pepper sauce to the onions,
and stir. Stir in the chopped water chestnuts, green onions, and
sesame oil, and continue cooking until the onions just begin to wilt,
about 2 minutes. Return the tofu to the pan and mix. Remove from
the heat.
Arrange lettuce leaves around the edge of a large serving platter,
and pile tofu mixture in the centre. To serve, allow each person to
spoon a portion of the meat into a lettuce leaf. Wrap the lettuce
around the meat like a burrito and enjoy
