I was searching for a recipe to change up our weekly meal plans, and seeing that the weather has been so summer like, high 70's for a few days I wanted something light and refreshing for dinner. I came across a Lettuce Wrap recipe, and made a few tweaks to make it my own (because I find if I just get a basic recipe I can add the things I know we love to make it that much better) and ended up making one of the most delicious lettuce wraps I've ever had. So let me share the recipe with you...
Lettuce Wraps
1 1/2 lb ground turkey (of course you can chicken too)
1 can water chestnuts, chopped
1 can bamboo shoots, chopped
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (more for garnish)
1/4 cup sliced green onion (more for garnish)
1 tbsp chopped ginger
1 tbsp crushed garlic
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp fish sauce
Juice of two limes
Add sesame oil to wok and brown meat in it
While meat is browning mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, fish sauce and lime juice together in a bowl
Add ginger, garlic, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, green onion and cilantro.
Pour on sauce mixture
Cook until done
Serve in iceberg lettuce shells, with additional green onion and cilantro for garnish.
Enjoy!!!!!
