PF Chang's Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps(素食莴苣套)

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...
