"Finally -- The VEGGIE Version! After scouring the internet for the vegetarian lettuce wraps, I finally broke down and decided to tweak the ubiquitous chicken recipe and this worked out great! The cooking sauce is from the original recipe but is enough for two batches of the veggie version so make go ahead and make the full recipe and reserve half for another batch. Save in a jar and store in the fridge until needed.Another tip: when buying bamboo shoots, get the strips. This will cut down on prep time as all you have to do is dice these.I've also included a sauce for adding to the individual wraps after cooking (just like in the restaurant!) I like my sauce spicy so you may want to experiment with the ingredients for a milder version."

  1. Tasted really close to P.F. Changs...however I used to work there and I know they use different kinds of tofu for different dishes...the tofu for this dish in particular is 5 Spice tofu...available at any Asian market...if you can't find it ask someone...This tofu is much more firm and way less moist than regular tofu...I think by doing so this recipe will receive a much better rating!

  2. There are several vegetarian "oyster" sauces on the market and I had no trouble located them on a quick google search. If you don't have access to a good Asian market, here is at least one handy source I found.<br/>http://www.asianfoodgrocer.com/product/vegetarian-oyster-sauce-17-oz?source=pjn&subid=21181

  4. This was excellent! Vegetarian oyster sauce keeps it truly vegetarian (vegan!). I thought , it was excellent. The texture was awesome and the flavors were great. There are a lot of ingredients, but it comes together really quickly and has become a favorite!
