In a small bowl, stir the lime juice with the fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, the sugar and the crushed red pepper.
In a medium skillet, heat the oil.
Add the garlic and cook over moderately high heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the shiitakes and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and cook over moderate heat until the shiitakes are tender, about 4 minutes longer.
Transfer the shiitakes to a medium bowl.
Add the diced tofu, raw green beans, scallions, shallot, cilantro, mint and the dressing and toss.
Spread the lettuce leaves on a platter. Spoon the salad over the leaves and serve.
