{Easy} Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps

Todays recipe is an easy dinner idea, that cam be made with meat or without. This Lettuce Wrap Recipe was a huge hit with everyone in our home. To find something that we all like can sometimes be a challenge. I am a vegetarian, my husband is not, and our kids are well…. kids {you know!} I loved this, because with a little tweaking, we were all satisfied!

I adapted the recipe from a old pampered chef cookbook. I don’t even remember where I got it… and I don’t have any of the pampered chef tools or ingredients, but I was able to make a couple of changes and turn this into something delicious.
Lets get started. You will need:
2 packages chicken flavored ramen noodles
1 red or yellow pepper
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
2 TBS soy sauce + a dash
1/2 cup oil (I used vegetable)
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. vinegar
seasoning from the ramen noodles
1 tsp garlic (minced)
1 med. cucumber chopped small
1 carrot chopped small
24 letucce leaves (I used butter) but you can use Romain or Boston too.
(optional)
chicken breast, cooked and chopped
1/4 chopped peanuts
1. Cook the noodles in boiling water for two minutes (break them up before you cook them). Drain and rinse in cold water.
2. Place all the chopped veggies and garlic in a medium bowl. Add the noddles to the veggies and toss with a dash of soy sauce.
3. Make the dipping sauce:
 Combine the oil, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce and seasoning…
(optional) prepare chicken on the side to be added if wanted
(optional) make a bowl of noodles with just carrots and cucumbers (the veggies my kids will eat) 
place noodles and (meat) in a lettuce leaf and spoon sauce over the top… eat… say yum… and repeat!

    Yum! We’ve been mostly vegetarian for a while now, only eat meat at get togethers (when there’s usually no other option) and occasionally when we go out. Thanks for sharing, I’m always looking for a good vegetarian recipe.

    You’re a loser, Josh. That’s probably why things didn’t work out. You couldn’t satisfy her. Maybe spend more time cuddling your mom…. Or find other ex girlfriends to slander? Oh wait, you probably don’t have other ex girlfriends.
