Mushroom Ginger Lettuce Wrap Recipes

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.

Steps:

• 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.
• Cook the rice noodles until soft according to the package directions.
• To assemble: Mound some noodles on each lettuce leaf, then add some mushrooms, carrots, cucumbers, mint and cilantro. Serve with the sauce.

Steps:

• Chop half of the mushrooms.
• Put stock in a saucepan, add the chopped mushrooms, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Puree the mixture in a food processor or a blender, then force through a sieve back into the saucepan.
• Melt butter in a heavy skillet. Saute the mushroom caps along with the scallions, garlic and fresh ginger over high heat until lightly browned. Stir in the ground ginger. Add the contents of the skillet to the saucepan.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. Reheat and serve, garnished with coriander.

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.

Steps:

• Remove the tofu from its packaging and drain. Wrap tofu in a kitchen towel and find a heavy object to place on top of tofu, leave it there for 10-20 minutes, until tofu feels more tender.
• Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the water, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sriracha, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, and scallions, and stir. Set ½ cup (120 ml) of the sauce aside.
• Crumble the tofu into the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• In a medium wok or skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil and onion, and cook 3 minutes, until onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
• Add the marinated tofu to the pan and cook until the majority of marinade cooks off. Add the water chestnuts and scallions. Pour in the reserved sauce. Toss to coat and cook until just heated through. Transfer the tofu mixture to a medium bowl.
• Heat the canola oil in the same pan over high heat until a drop of water sizzles when flicked onto the oil. Fry the rice noodles for about 30 seconds, until puffed up. Transfer the fried noodles to paper towels to drain.
• Slice the core off the head of lettuce and separate into individual leaves.
• Serve with leaves of lettuce, rice noodles, and drizzle remaining sauce over top.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat the stock over medium heat. Trim two of the lemon-grass stalks of their toughest outer layers, then bruise them with the back of a knife; cut them into sections, and add them to the stock with the ginger and about 1/4 of the minced chilies. Simmer for about 15 minutes, longer if you have the time. Peel all the hard layers off the remaining stalk of lemon grass, and mince its tender inner core.
• When you're ready to eat the soup, remove the lemon grass and ginger. Add 1 tablespoon nam pla and the chopped mushrooms. Taste the broth, and add more chilies if you like, as well as some salt if necessary. In the bottom of each of 4 warmed bowls, sprinkle a little each of the chile, lime leaves or zest, lime juice, cilantro and minced lemon grass.
• Ladle the soup into the bowls and add a teaspoon of nam pla to each bowl. Serve piping hot.
