Perfect. I’ve been wanting to have lettuce wraps.
Asian Lettuce Wraps
For the sauce:
4 tsp. hoisin sauce
4 tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. sesame oil
3 tsp. rice wine vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
For the filling:
2 tsp. canola oil
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 shallot, minced
½ tsp. ginger
1 lb. ground turkey or chicken
½ cup onion, diced
½ red bell pepper, diced
¼ cup frozen peas
¼ cup carrot, very finely diced
½ green apple, finely diced
¾-1 cup cooked rice
2 green onions, thinly sliced
To assemble:
Romain lettuce leaves
1. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sauce and stir to blend. Set aside.
2. To make the filling, heat a skillet over medium high heat and add the canola oil. Once the pan is hot, add the garlic, shallots, and gingerto the pan, and stir fry for a few seconds, just until fragrant.
3. Add the ground turkey or chicken, breaking into very small pieces, and cook until almost cooked through. Add the vegetables to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Mix in the sauce and cook for about 1 minute, until thickened slightly. Add the apples, rice, and green onions to the pan and toss to coat. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and serve the filling in lettuce cups.
