Asian Lettuce Roll Recipe

	Tracycj / All my dishes 1 year, 7 months ago Great for an appetizer, just roll them ahead of time. You can also add very thin rice noodles as well. Make a peanut dipping sauce to go with too. Prep:20m Cook:20m Servings:16	Tracycj

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey

1 tablespoon light soy sauce

1 teaspoon minced garlic

2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root

1 cup brown rice

1 cup water

16 large lettuce leaves

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup green onions, thinly sliced

1 cup sliced red bell pepper

1 cup sliced radishes

1/3 cup light soy sauce

1/3 cup water

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root

1 teaspoon sugar

Directions

In a medium bowl, mix together ground turkey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon minced garlic and 2 teaspoons ginger. Form into 16 meatballs and roll into ovals. Cover and refrigerate.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine rice with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender.

Preheat the grill or broiler. Arrange rice, lettuce leaves, carrots, scallions, radishes and red peppers onto a serving platter or place each into a small bowl. In a medium bowl, mix together 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup water, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons garlic, 1 tablespoon ginger, and sugar. Divide into 4 small dipping bowls.

Thread two meatballs onto each 10 inch skewer. Grill or broil for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides. If broiling, line the broiler pan with aluminum foil and drain fat after 6 minutes.

To eat, place a leaf of lettuce onto the palm of your hand, spoon on a little rice, then a meat roll, and a few of the vegetables. Roll up and dip in dipping sauce or spoon sauce over.

Reminds me of P. F. Chang's lettuce wraps only better! And neater because of the meatballs instead of the minced filling. Thanks.

This does sound like the P.F. Changs lettuce wraps as Crabhappy states - a few girls from the office took a boss out that was transfered and we went to PF Changs - I could not have it because I have a wheat allergy - but now that I have the recipe I can adapt it so I can't wait to try it - the presentation was a 10 so you get my 5!

I love PF Changs! I used to eat there alot when I lived in Vegas. Now I live where they don't have them. Bummer! But on the bright side, I can make yours! Delicious!
