Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 lb. super firm tofu crumbled
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 onion diced
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp. soy sauce low sodium
  • 1 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. minced ginger use fresh gingerroot, not jarred
  • 1 tbsp. Sriracha optional
  • 1 8 oz. can diced water chestnuts, drained
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 head butter lettuce

Instructions
 

  • Cook rice according to directions, if using. A short grain white or brown rice is best, as those tend to be stickier and hold together better.
  • After the rice has started cooking, heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté till soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Next, add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the crumbled tofu and allow to brown slightly. You want a little crisp on it. Then add the hoisin, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and Sriracha. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring everything is thoroughly heated through and coated in the sauce.
  • Add the water chestnuts and green onions and cook another 1-2 minutes. Season everything with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • To serve, stack two lettuce leaves (one on top of the other). Place a spoonful of rice (if using) in the center and top with another spoonful of the tofu mixture. Eat it like a taco and enjoy!

Notes

If you prefer to use ground chicken, start out by cooking that in the oil first. Crumble it as you cook it and be sure to cook it all the way through. Then proceed with the recipe as written, skipping the tofu step.
