Quick and Easy Asian Lettuce Wraps Recipe

By -Tam | Food Apparel 1 Comment

Asian Lettuce Wraps at FoodApparel.com

On a busy night where frozen nuggets from Costco will just not suffice, I love having simple, inexpensive dinners like lettuce wraps that I can throw together.  These wraps are fresh, saucy and easy to throw together.  I found the original recipe from Annie’s Eats a long time ago.  Over time, I have dramatically changed it to be more fitting to whatever is in my fridge.  Changing up the produce definitely changes the flavor, so put whatever you like in there (red bell pepper and shredded carrots in pictures).

Asian Lettuce Wraps

Cuisine Quick 'N Easy
Author Tamara Blankenship

Ingredients

For the Sauce:

  • 4 1/2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce

For the Filling:

  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef or can use turkey or chicken
  • 2 cups mixed produce water chestnuts, peeled green apple, frozen peas, red peppers, and freshly grated carrots are my favorites, chopped as needed
  • 1 head iceberg or romaine lettuce

Instructions

For the Sauce:

  1. Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and mix to blend.

For the Filling:

  1. Heat a skillet on high heat with oil.
  2. Once the pan is hot, add the garlic, ginger and white part of green onions to the pan, and stir fry for a few seconds, just until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground beef, breaking into small pieces, and sautee until almost cooked through.
  4. Add the vegetables and sauce to pan and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Immediately remove the pan from the heat.
  6. Serve the filling in lettuce cups or over rice.

    Made a couple of days ago and they tasted phenomenal! One of the veggies I used for my mix, at my sis-in-law’s (Carrielyn) suggestion, was shredded broccoli stalk. I love it because we never eat the stalks around our place. Will be doing that more often and adding to other dishes as well. Yum!
