These vegan tofu lettuce wraps are a PF Chang’s copycat you can make at home with simple ingredients. Crumbled tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and water chestnuts are tossed in a sweet-and-savory hoisin sauce, then served in crisp lettuce cups with fresh toppings for an easy lunch or weeknight dinner.
Ingredients Needed to Make This Recipe
- Extra Firm Tofu – the main protein and base of the filling.
- Shiitake Mushrooms – add savory flavor and chewy texture, making the filling more satisfying.
- Aromatics – onions, scallions, garlic, red pepper flakes, and ginger build the base flavor of the filling.
- Water Chestnuts – bring in that classic crunch reminiscent of the original PF Changs wraps.
- Vegan Hoisin adds that sweet-and-salty flavor reminiscent of the PF Chang’s version.
- Soy Sauce – adds an umami and savory depth to the filling.
- Rice Vinegar – brings in a tangy note and keeps the filling light.
- Mirin – adds a mild sweetness to round out the sauce. If you don’t have mirin, just add a bit of sugar and a splash of water. This will give you similar sweetness and shine.
- Toasted Sesame Oil – gives a nutty flavor—just a small amount is enough.
- Black Pepper – provides a sharp finish to the sauce.
- Lettuce: choose sturdy, crisp, cup-shaped varieties, such as butter, iceberg, or romaine.
- Toppings – we suggest going all out on the toppings, as these help the filling shine. They not only look great and add color, but also add crunch and freshness, finishing out the dish.
