Asian-Inspired Lettuce Wraps

I decided to try and make something new, which is also something I’ve only had a handful of times out at restaurants. Lettuce wraps. Every time I ordered them, I really enjoyed them, so I thought I’d try to make something similar at home. I was also told that mine taste very similar to the P.F. Chang’s version, which I’ve never had, but I’ll take that as a compliment!

 Ingredients:

Ingredients, minus the soy sauce

 

1 lb ground beef

2 tsp vegetable oil

2 stalks green onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp red pepper flakes

¼ cup hoisin sauce

Head of lettuce, leaves separated

Directions:

1. Add vegetable oil to skillet over medium-high heat and add in pound of ground beef, cooking until brown (approximately 5-7 minutes).

2. Add green onions, garlic, soy sauce, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, and hoisin sauce to skillet with ground beef and stir in for 2-3 minutes, making sure to mix in well.

3. Once blended in evenly, remove from heat and serve with cleaned lettuce leaves.

 

 

 

Time it takes to make: Approximately 20 minutes

Servings: 4

This recipe is extremely easy to make and is very filling. It’s also just as delicious the next day for leftovers during lunch.

Thanks for reading!
