Seasoning Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian oyster sauce

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • ½ teaspoon sambal oelek (chile paste) (Optional)

  • ½ teaspoon mushroom seasoning

  • ¼ teaspoon sesame oil

  • ¼ teaspoon white sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wraps:

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 2 slices ginger

  • 5 ounces fried tofu, diced

  • 4 ounces jicama, peeled and diced

  • 3 fresh shiitake mushrooms, diced

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ground black pepper to taste

  • ½ red bell pepper, diced

  • 8 large butterhead lettuce leaves

Directions

  1. Mix hoisin sauce, 1 teaspoon water, and 1/2 teaspoon sambal oelek together to make dipping sauce.

  2. Mix oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon water, 1/2 teaspoon sambal oelek, mushroom seasoning, sesame oil, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a bowl to make seasoning sauce.

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tofu, jicama, shiitake mushrooms, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper; cook and stir until mushrooms are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add red bell pepper and seasoning sauce; cook and stir until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

  4. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of tofu mixture in the center of each lettuce leaf. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Add 1 teaspoon dipping sauce; roll up lettuce to enclose tofu mixture. Repeat with remaining tofu mixture and lettuce leaves. Serve remaining dipping sauce alongside.
