Last night I made an Asian Inspired dinner for Neil and, not to pat myself on the back, but it was awesome!! It's been so long since I've cooked that I forgot how much I love doing it! One of my favorite things to make is lettuce wraps. I found a healthy recipe a few years ago and have tried to make them on a fairly regular basis since then. I actually lost the original recipe, but here's what I use to make them:
- Ground Chicken
- Plum Sauce (use generously)
- Celery
- Water chestnuts
- Rice Vinegar
- Soy Sauce
- Salt and Pepper
- Sprouts
The original recipe called for carrots, but since they are my arch-nemesis, I opted out. You can really put in anything else you want (baby carrots, bamboo, etc) in the wraps and just add sauce to taste and wrap them in lettuce! Neil adds chili garlic sauce to give his an extra kick! You just need to mix them all together in a pan (or wok) and serve!
I get that this is not the most appetizing picture, but I swear they are awesome!
Also, for an app I made spicy edamame which was inspired by the amazing sushi restaurants in Southern California. I heated the edamame up with garlic and crushed red pepper. It was pretty good, but I think next time I just need to mix the edamame with spicy chili garlic sauce (good suggestion Neil)!
