MUSHROOM-GINGER LETTUCE WRAP

• For the sauce: In a bowl, dissolve the sugar in 1/2 cup warm water. Stir in the fish sauce, garlic, pepper flakes and lime juice.
• For the wraps: Mix the mushrooms in a bowl with the garlic, ginger, coconut amino acids and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add the mushroom mixture, in batches if necessary, and saute until browned, 6 to 8 minutes.

LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the hoisin, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
• Press the tofu between paper towels to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Refresh the paper towels and press again. Heat the 2 teaspoons canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Once the oil is hot, crumble in the tofu, breaking it into very small pieces as it cooks. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, then add the diced mushrooms. Continue cooking until any remaining tofu liquid cooks off and the tofu starts to turn golden, about 3 minutes more. Stir in the water chestnuts, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and half of the green onions and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds more.
• Pour the sauce over the top of the tofu mixture and stir to coat. Cook just until you hear bubbling and the sauce is warmed through, 30 to 60 seconds.
• Spoon the tofu mixture into individual lettuce leaves. Top with remaining green onions, grated carrots, and additional red pepper flakes as desired. Enjoy immediately.

MUSHROOM 'CHEESESTEAK' LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder and oregano in a small bowl. Season with pepper. Pour the mixture over the prepared mushrooms and toss to combine.
• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms (with any liquid), peppers and onions. Cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid and the mushrooms and onions begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
• Lay the cheese over the mushroom mixture, cover and cook just until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Then give everything a mix. Remove from the heat, spoon into the butter lettuce leaves and serve.
