Ginger Lettuce Wraps
I have been focusing on easy peasy plant based meals this week. The kind that requires one pot and not much else, hello Ginger lettuce wraps! Something you can make in 30 minutes and feel good about serving your family the healthy of healthiest food.
These have the perfect blend of sweet and savory and make an easy lunch for light dinner. I love them with a dipping sauce like hoisin, soy or garlic chili sauce. How about all three. Serve them open face with chop sticks for some extra fun!
Lunch time just got easy!!!! Make these little bites, cooked or raw...vegan or with a little chicken!
