Stuff crisp lettuce leaves with a savory filling inspired by PF Chang's famous lettuce wraps. These low-carb wraps made with tofu, mushrooms and daikon radish are an easy vegetarian dinner. Add julienned carrots to the wraps for a bonus crunch.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 (14 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
1 tablespoon canola oil
8 ounces white mushrooms, finely chopped
1 cup finely chopped daikon radish
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
4 scallions, sliced
8 large leaves Bibb or iceberg lettuce
¼ cup Julienned carrots

Directions

Combine vinegar, hoisin, soy sauce, sesame oil and crushed red pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
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.
Spoon a scant 1/2 cup tofu mixture into each lettuce leaf. Top with carrots, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
