Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup TVP
2 cup vegetable broth chicken-style, plus more for sautéing
2 cloves garlic minced
1 medium onion diced
1/4 cup hoisin sauce vegan
2 tablespoons liquid aminos or soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon ginger grated
1 tablespoon sriracha or to taste
8 ounces water chestnuts drained and diced
2 each green onions thinly sliced
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
1 medium head lettuce green leaf, bibb, or Boston preferred

Instructions

Place TVP in a large bowl, and pour over hot vegetable broth. Stir and let stand for 5-10 minutes to rehydrate. Drain and squeeze out any remaining broth.
Heat a thin layer of broth or water in a non-stick saucepan over medium high heat. Add TVP and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. If the TVP starts to stick, add a splash of broth of water.
Stir in garlic, onion, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger and sriracha. Cook onions until translucent, about 1-2 minutes. Add a splash of broth of water if the mixture starts to stick.
Stir in water chestnuts and green onions and cook until tender, about 1-2 minutes. Add a splash of broth of water if the mixture starts to stick. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the filling mixture taco-style into the middle of a lettuce leaf.

Notes

WFPB Variation

Because the creation of TVP involves processing, it’s not WFPB-compliant. When we want to make this WFPB-compliant, we have a few TVP replacement options–finely chopped mushrooms, crumbled tofu, or pulsed lentils. We’ll also choose a WFPB-compliant hoisin. We particularly like this hoisin sauce recipe from Kim Campbell.
