Lettuce Wraps with Hoisin-Peanut Sauce 

If you’re craving bold Asian flavours without the fuss, these lettuce wraps with peanut-hoisin sauce hit the spot. I first created this recipe years ago for a casual lunch with friends — crisp butter lettuce cups, fragrant garlic and ginger, a rich peanut-hoisin drizzle, and a filling that comes together in under 20 minutes. Whether it’s a Monday night dinner or appetizers for a crowd, these wraps perform flawlessly.

Serves: 4


Ingredients

For the sauce

  • 1 tsp coconut oil

  • 1 tbsp minced shallot

  • ⅓ cup water

  • 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter

  • 4 tsp hoisin sauce

  • ⅛ tsp crushed red pepper

  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

For the filling

  • 1 (14 oz) pkg extra-firm tofu, drained and crumbled (optional — I omitted it)

  • 1 tbsp dark sesame oil

  • 6 green onions, thinly sliced (about ⅔ cup), divided

  • ½ cup + 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, divided

  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or Coconut Aminos for gluten-free)

  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

  • 2 tsp sugar

  • ½ tsp Sriracha (optional)

  • 1 cup matchstick-cut cucumbers

  • 1 cup matchstick-cut carrots

  • 2 cups hot cooked sticky rice

  • 8 Bibb or butter lettuce leaves


Instructions

  1. Make the sauce:
    Heat coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and sauté 2 minutes. Stir in water, peanut butter, hoisin sauce, and red pepper. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute, stirring. Remove from heat and whisk in lime juice.

  2. Prepare the filling:
    (If using tofu) press between paper towels for 20 minutes to remove moisture. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ⅓ cup green onions; sauté 1 minute. Add tofu (or vegetables only) and sauté 4 minutes. Add 2 tbsp cilantro, soy sauce, ginger, sugar, and Sriracha; cook 1 more minute. Stir in cucumber, carrots, and remaining green onions.

  3. Assemble wraps:
    Spoon about ¼ cup rice into each lettuce leaf, top with ½ cup filling, sprinkle with cilantro, and drizzle with sauce. Serve immediately.
