Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or other vinegar
1 tablespoon red wine or dry sherry
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cornstarch
16 medium to large Chinese or Japanese dried mushrooms, about 2 inches in diameter, soaked in warm water until softened, about 45 minutes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 celery stalks, strings removed with a vegetable peeler, finely diced to make 1 cup
3 carrots, peeled and finely diced to make 1 cup
4 scallions, white and green parts, trimmed and minced to make 3/4 cup
2 ounces firm tofu, finely diced
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
2 to 3 tablespoons lightly toasted pine nuts
8 to 12 whole bibb, Boston or iceberg lettuce leaves
Hoisin sauce as needed

Steps:

  • For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, wine, sugar and pepper. In another small bowl, stir together the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Set bowls aside.
  • For the filling: Drain mushrooms, trim tough stalks and finely dice mushrooms; there should be about 1 1/2 cups. Place a large wok over high heat and add oil. When oil is hot, add mushrooms, celery, carrots and scallions. Stir-fry until celery and carrots are crisp-tender, about 45 seconds. Add soy sauce mixture and stir for 20 seconds. Add cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened, about 30 seconds.
  • Add tofu and toss gently, being careful not to break up tofu. Add sesame oil and toss again. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with pine nuts.
  • To serve, place bowl of mushroom filling alongside a platter of lettuce leaves and a small bowl of hoisin sauce. Spread about 1/4 teaspoon hoisin sauce in center of each lettuce leaf and add 2 tablespoons of mushroom mixture. Roll up leaf and eat with your fingers.

These wraps are a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have some leftover rice in my fridge, so this is a great recipe to use it up.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mushrooms. I had some cremini mushrooms that were starting to go bad, so I decided to make these wraps. They were so good, I'm definitely going to make them again.

I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but these wraps were delicious! The lettuce cups were the perfect vessel for the savory mushroom filling.
