Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Place the two tofu halves on a rimmed baking sheet, and top with another baking sheet. Weigh the baking sheet down with two large cans, and set aside for 30 minutes. Drain the tofu, and then chop into ½-inch pieces. 2 Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sugar, and crushed red pepper. 3 Warm the oil in a non-stick skillet set over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add the garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the sliced shiitakes, and cook until starting to soften, about one minute. Reduce heat to medium, and pour in the remaining two tablespoons of soy sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shiitakes are tender, two to three minutes. Immediately transfer mushrooms to the large bowl with the dressing. 4 Add the tofu, green beans, scallions, shallot, cilantro, and mint to the bowl. Carefully toss. 5 Place one lettuce leaf on four plates. Top each with a quarter of the mushroom mixture. Serve.
