Garlic-Ginger Mushroom Lettuce Wraps

(3)

These super-savory lettuce wraps feature a mix of mushrooms and plenty of peanuts for crunch. Refrigerated garlic and ginger pastes help keep prep to a minimum. If you want a boost of vegetarian protein, stir in a scrambled egg or crumbled tofu after the mushrooms are done cooking and before you add the sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • 12 ounces sliced fresh mixed wild mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake and oyster)

  • 2 cups shredded coleslaw mix

  • cup thinly sliced scallions (about 3 medium), plus more for garnish

  • ½ cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped, divided

  • 2 teaspoons refrigerated garlic paste

  • 2 teaspoons refrigerated ginger paste (from tube)

  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce

  • 1 tablespoon lower-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

  • 1 head butter lettuce, separated into leaves

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms in an even layer; cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in coleslaw mix, scallions and 1/3 cup peanuts; cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 4 minutes.

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.)
