Question

i recently went to a chines restaurant and had some lettuce wraps. The filling was absolutely delish. I think it was the sauce,but if you have any recipes for some lettuce wrap filling, I'd apreciate it. Thx.

Answer 1

Not sure what type of meat you wanted in you lettuce wraps? or if you wanted them with only veggies?

Here is a good recipe that doesnt take too long to make though.

If you give me some idea of what type you want... I may be able to be of more help.

NGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

    * 16 Boston Bibb or butter lettuce leaves

    * 1 pound lean ground beef

    * 1 tablespoon cooking oil

    * 1 large onion, chopped

    * 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced

DIRECTIONS

   1. Rinse whole lettuce leaves and pat dry, being careful not tear them. Set aside.

   2. In a medium skillet over high heat, brown the ground beef in 1 tablespoon of oil, stirring often and reducing the heat to medium, if necessary. Drain, and set aside to cool. Cook the onion in the same pan, stirring frequently. Add the garlic, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, vinegar, and chile pepper sauce to the onions, and stir. Stir in chopped water chestnuts, green onions, and sesame oil, and continue cooking until the onions just begin to wilt, about 2 minutes.

   3. Arrange lettuce leaves around the outer edge of a large serving platter, and pile meat mixture in the center. To serve, allow each person to spoon a portion of the meat into a lettuce leaf. Wrap the lettuce around the meat like a burrito, and enjoy!

Best of Luck and Enjoy!!
