Asian-Style Lettuce Wraps

Description
A recipe for Asian-Style Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients

  • 4 crisp, green leaf lettuce leaves, washed and dried
  • 1 cucumber, chopped
  • Sesame Soy Drizzle Sauce
  • 1/4 cup dark sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons Japanese rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • Asian-Style Ground
  • Cooking oil for pan (approximately 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 pouch (1 cup) frozen Boca Foods Meatless Ground Burger
  • 1 teaspoon fresh, minced ginger
  • 1/2 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
  • 1 cup fresh bean sprouts

Preparation
1. Wrap lettuce in paper towel and refrigerate until ready to serve.

2. Whisk together sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce and sugar for drizzle sauce; set aside.

3. Heat oil to coat large nonstick skillet or wok.

4. Add ground burger, cook and stir on medium heat about 3 minutes (until about half way cooked).

5. Add ginger and garlic and heat about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes more.

6. Stir in green onion and bean sprouts and cook about 1 minute more, just until heated through. Don't overcook bean sprouts; recipe tastes best when they still have some crunch left.

7. Lay lettuce leaves flat on plate, divide cucumber evenly on each leaf.

8. Scoop 1/4 ground burger mixture (about 1/4 cup) on each leaf.

9. Drizzle sesame soy sauce (about 2 teaspoons) onto inside of lettuce wrap, and roll up lettuce wraps.

Special extra: Sprinkle ground burger mixture with chopped peanuts before wrapping.

Serving suggestion: This is a good amount for two people as an appetizer. To serve as an entrée, add 1 cup of steamed rice before wrapping, or simply provide it as a side for your guests.
