Chicken lettuce wraps - my hubby’s all time favorite Chinese food. He wants to go Pf Chang every weekend for this great appetizer only. To impress him I decided to make these lettuce wraps in home and they were a hit. I adopted the lettuce wrap recipe with little modification of my own taste from here.As i told in my previous post we sacrificed chicken for 2 months ,i am presenting this vegetarian version.For chicken letuce wraps you can replace the tofu with chicken.
INGREDIENTS:
Tofu – ½ cup
Mushrooms – ½ cup
Chopped Red onions – 1
Garlic paste – 1tsp
Iceberg lettuce leaves – 4
Brown sugar – 2tsp
Green chili – 2
Water chestnuts – 1cup
Chinese cellophane noodles
(Special sauce)
Sugar– 2tsp
Soy sauce – 1tsp
Rice Vinegar – 2tsp
Ketchup – 2tsp
Lemon juice – 1tsp
Sesame oil – 1tsp
Chili sauce – 2tsp
Water - 2tsp
METHOD:
To make the special sauce dissolves the sugar in the water in a small bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve the lettuce wraps.For stir-fry sauce mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar together in a small bowl and keep aside.Fry the noodles as directed and keep aside.
Heat 2 tspn of oil and fry the tofu on both sides until crispy and golden color.Remove from pan and place on a paper towel. Cut the mushrooms and water chestnut as small peas. When tofu and is cool cut it as the size of mushrooms and water chestnuts are.
Now heat the oil in the same pan and add tofu,garlic,onions,water chestnuts,green chili and mushrooms. Cook it well.Now add the stir fry sauce and sauté the mixture for a couple minutes.Allow it to cook well.
Then break the fried cellophane noodles into small pieces and spread evenly over a lettuce “cups”.Arrange the mixture over the noodles and top with special sauce.Enjoy with your family...

We also love the chicken wraps there. I am not too fond of their entrees though. The chickn preparations are too dry for my taste to eat it with rice. But love these. And ur veg version looks so great.

Thank you for sharing. it was great
Hi Divya Ur recipe looks great!!!!
I had a question ...where can i get cellophane noodles?? which store to buy from??
Hi,
The www.recipezaar.com recipe has tbsp as measurement in many cases.
I was wondering if it was typo in recipe, which shows tsp rather than tbsp in all cases or you are really using tsp. I am going to ry making this tomorrow. So please let me know.
Thanks.
Hi! We made this last night for dinner and it was so delicious. We added fresh ginger, and cooked everything directly with the special sauce (instead of adding it afterwards). It turned out so good... thank you for sharing this recipe! I live in Seattle, WA, USA.
Hi Dhivya,
I tried you lettuce wraps recipe, it came out soooo good.
I am still drooling on that taste.
Thank you so much for the recipe.
Take Care
FABULOUS RECIPE... AND CRUELTY FREE!!! I TWEEK IT WITH A LIL' GINGER AND LIME!!! DELICIOUS! A VEGAN LOVE FEAST! CHEERS!
I want to say a Million THANKS!!! Your lettuce wrap recipe is definitely a hit!!
I tried today. Though I didnt have all ingredients, like water chestnuts and oyster sauce,
My lettuce wraps came out so well!!!
The recipe turned out great and was a big hit with my family! I took some guesswork, though, as the ingredients for the stir-fry sauce are in different areas of the ingredients. Are the soy sauce and rice vinegar for the stir-fry sauce or also for the special sauce?
