I finally have some fresh veggies in the house again, and despite an extra long day at work, I thought up a quick idea for lettuce wraps. Sorry I forgot to take a picture, but I thought they turned out really nice, and totally delicious.
Veggie Mixture
Broccoli Slaw
Peas and Carrots
Mushrooms
Spinach
Dehydrated Onion
Bulgur
Water or broth
Peanut Oil
I know you're probably thinking "Bulgur"? But yeah, bulgur prepared correctly gave the stir-fry a more meaty texture. Take 2 parts water or broth and 1 part bulgur. Add in a little dehydrated onion. Nuke for 5 minutes or so, one minute at a time, taking time to stir in-between minutes. The bulgur should be plenty thick by then.
In a stir-fry skillet, heat a couple tablespoons peanut oil, then stir-fry some minced ginger and garlic in with it. Chop up the broccoli slaw, and place in the skillet, followed by the frozen peas and carrots. Stir-fry for a few minutes, then add the bulgur and onion, and stir-fry a few minutes more. Chop up the fresh mushrooms and add to the skillet, followed by the spinach. The veggies and bulgur will be sticking by then, so time to add some sauce.
Sauce
Soy Sauce
Rice Wine Vinegar
Honey
Red Pepper
Black Pepper
I wish I could say that I had exact amounts of everything, but I just kind of eyeballed, to my taste. Needless to say, stir the sauce in to the stir-fry mixture. Heat a few minutes more - to cover all the veggies with sauce and to heat through.
To Serve
For the lettuce, I prefer butter or Bibb lettuce - the leaves hold their shape nicer. Tear off a couple of leaves, then fill them with the veggie mixture. Enjoy!
