Step 2
Cut tofu in half horizontally. Press the tofu slices between paper towels to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Crumble the tofu. Heat canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crumbled tofu; cook, stirring and breaking into smaller pieces, until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms; continue cooking and stirring until any liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Stir in daikon, garlic, ginger and scallions. Add the reserved sauce; cook, stirring, until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Spoon a scant 1/2 cup tofu mixture into each lettuce leaf. Top with carrots, if desired.

I made the recipe exactly as written. I was disappointed. All three in my family found it too bitter (daikon radish?) and not particularly flavorful. It seems the daikon radish overwhelmed flavors of the sauce. I added sugar to the finished product and add cashews on top to cut down the bitterness. It was a little better, but next time i will actually leave out the daikon radish (which I like in other dishes) and let the sauce shine a bit more

YUM!!!! These were great, I used water chestnuts instead of daikon radish and coked the tofu and mushrooms a little longer than suggested to brown and soften the shrooms. Also added shiitake in addition to the criminis. SOOO much better and healthier than takeout!

These are light yet satisfying — I love the gingery flavors.
