HEALTHY BEEF LETTUCE WRAPS RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine the rice and 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook until most of the water is absorbed, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low; cover and continue cooking until all of the water is absorbed, about 12 more minutes. Uncover and transfer to a large bowl to cool slightly.
• Preheat a large grill pan or grill over medium heat and brush with oil. Combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the vegetable oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha and 1 teaspoon ginger in a bowl; rub all over the pork. Transfer the pork to the grill pan; cook about 8 minutes per side for medium doneness. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes; thinly slice.
• Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha and teaspoon ginger into the rice. Add the carrots, cucumber, lime juice and brown sugar and toss. Serve the rice and pork in the lettuce leaves; top with cilantro and drizzle with more Sriracha. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Place mushrooms in hot water to soften a few minutes. Remove stems and chop fine.
• Combine soy sauces, oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp sesame oil, rice wine, sugar, and pepper in a bowl.
• Combine ground chicken (I put the chicken in the food processor), softened mushrooms and water chestnuts into a bowl. Pour over chicken; toss. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
• Mix Spicy Hoisin Dipping Sauce ingredients in another bowl. Set aside.
• Heat remaining sesame oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Add garlic; cook until golden, about 10 seconds. Add chicken mixture; stir fry until browned, breaking the chicken up as it cooks, about 4-5 minutes.
• To serve, spoon 1/4 cup of the chicken into each lettuce leaf. Garnish with scallions and a spoon a little Spicy Hoisin Dipping Sauce onto each one.
