Asian Inspired: Lettuce Wraps + Spicy Edamame


This recipe is easy whip to together although it does call for quite a few ingredients. Trust me, it's worth it and very tasty! I couldn't find bibb/butter lettuce that is traditionally used for lettuce wraps so I used iceberg lettuce which did the trick but the cups were much bigger than your typical lettuce wrap. 


Ingredients:
8-10 lettuce leaves
1 lb. ground turkey
1 tbsp sesame oil
3/4 cup chopped mushrooms
1 yellow onion, diced
4 stems of green onion, diced
1 can diced water chestnuts
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
1 tbsp mined ginger root
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tbsp sriracha or chili sauce (for spice)


---------


Ingredients:
1 pack frozen shelledd soybeans
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp chili sauce
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced ginger 


It was fun cooking up this Asian inspired dinner! The gyoza/dumplings and gyoza sauce are from Trader Joe's along with the shelled edamame beans.
