1/4 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
sesame seeds toasted
Cilantro shredded for garnishing

Dipping Sauce:

Wash, dry and separate the leaves of 1 butterhead lettuce. Set aside. Heat skillet at medium heat, add oil and ginger. Stir fry for half a minute.
Add tofu, shitake mushrooms, jicama and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir fry for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
Add red peppers and seasoning sauce mix. Stir fry another minute, then transfer into serving bowl.
Assemble wraps by spooning 1-2 tablespoons of filling onto the lettuce leaves, top with a teaspoon of dipping sauce, and garnish with cilantro and some fried vermicelli (optional). This will make about 8 wraps depending on the size of the lettuce leaves.

Notes

You can find the fresh shiitake mushrooms in most Asian grocery stores. If not, you can use dried shiitake mushrooms by soaking them in warm water for 30 minutes, drain and then dice. Pre-fried tofu can be found in most Asian grocery stores. If not, you can use fresh firm tofu. The vegetarian mushroom oyster sauce (http://amzn.to/1ZCC1rO) and mushroom seasoning (http://amzn.to/1SnEcen) can also be found in most Asian grocery stores. You can use either the vegetarian mushroom oyster sauce or the ABC sweet soy sauce (http://amzn.to/205TPbL) (both contain wheat so they are not gluten free). For a gluten free option, you can replace the same amount of mushroom oyster sauce with tamari sauce (http://amzn.to/205TFkD). The fried noodles for garnishing and are optional. You can prepare them in advance by deep frying some bean thread noodles (cellophnae noodles).
