Hungry Girl Lettuce Wraps

I told you about Hungry Girl last week and now I have a recipe review for you.  

This recipe comes from her original cookbook.  

It's called Veggie-friendly Asian Lettuce Wraps

I think it tastes pretty close to a lettuce wrap you may get at a restaurant.

Here's what you'll need.

 

6 medium Iceberg lettuce leafs (or leaves from another round, firm head of lettuce)

6 ounces ground-beef-style soy crumbles, defrosted if previously frozen

1 cup canned slice water chestnuts, drained and chopped

3/4 cup chopped shiitake mushrooms

1 cup bean sprouts

1/2 cup chopped scallions

2 T light or low-sodium soy sauce

1 T dark brown sugar (not packed)

2 t chili garlic sauce (found in the Asian food aisle)

1/2 t sesame oil

This makes 2 servings and is 4 WW points each.

1) Combine soy sauce, sugar, garlic sauce, and sesame oil in a small dish.  Mix well and set aside.

Bring a medium pot sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat.

Place all ingredients, except for the scallions and lettuce leaves, into the pot.

Add the prepared sauce and stir.  Cook 2 to 3 minutes.

 

Add scallions, cook for 1 minute more and remove from heat.

Divide mixture evenly among the 6 lettuce "cups" and enjoy.

(Ok, I put them in 4 lettuce cups, because the lettuce leaves are always so big!)

Very yummy.  Very filling.  Very healthy.
