After a full 30 minutes of tennis with my boyfriend tonight, I thought I should cook something semi healthy so it didn't completely cancel out the 70 calories burned: Lettuce Wraps.
Stuff:
Use whats in your fridge for the veggies, so this is what I used: Spinach, red onion. If you have peppers, broccoli, snow peas, etc would be great too.
I always keep these ingredients handy: chili garlic sauce, soy sauce, pickled ginger and sesame oil (side note- good edamame recipe: sesame oil, sea salt and chili garlic sauce on cooked edamame, stirred together. Amazing).
Other stuff:
Chicken tenderloins
Romaine lettuce
Romaine lettuce
1 lime
Chardonnay wine (can't cook without at least one glass)
Grab a wok or a large pan, add red onion and sesame oil and let saute until browned. Add finely chopped chicken. Stir in 2 heaping spoonfuls of chili garlic sauce. Add 6 circles of soy sauce and a splash of ginger juice out of the jar. Fill pot with fresh spinach, cook down until evenly mixed with chicken. Wash and cut romaine lettuce, fill lettuce with chicken mix. Squeeze fresh lime over each wrap, fold like a hotdog not like a hamburger. Enjoy!
FYI keep napkins handy, it drips! But don't worry, only one wok to put in the dishwasher, thank goodness.
What the heck? Why did you hold out on all this good cooking for so long? I am getting hungry reading. Any lettuce wrap pictures?
