Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a bowl, whisk together the chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, hoisin, vinegar and sherry.
Cut the tofu into 1.5 cm thick slices and place them on a paper towel. Pat the tofu thoroughly with paper towels to remove as much excess water as possible. This should take about 2 minutes and about 3 paper towels. Finely chop the dried tofu.

Heat canola oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger and white parts of the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until the ginger is fragrant and the onion is translucent. Add the ground beef and tofu. Cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes, until the beef is darkened and cooked through. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring, for another 3-4 minutes. Add the water chestnuts and stir thoroughly.
Place the resulting filling into each lettuce leaf. Before serving, sprinkle with green onions, red bell pepper, and peanuts.
