Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup water chestnuts, diced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (can use low-sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce (for wrapping)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and chop all the vegetables including mushrooms, carrots, bell pepper, and water chestnuts.

    Use a food processor for quicker chopping.
  2. Sauté the Mixture

    In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat, then add chopped vegetables. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

    Do not overcook; vegetables should remain crisp.

    Stir in soy sauce and mix well, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

    Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  4. Prepare Lettuce Leaves

    Carefully separate iceberg lettuce leaves. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

    Choose the largest leaves for wrapping.
  5. Assemble Lettuce Wraps

    Spoon the vegetable mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf and fold it like a taco.

    Add sliced green onions on top for extra flavor.
