These delicious Asian style vegetarian lettuce wraps are great party appetizers or even great paired with vegetable fried rice. Very tasty and healthy, low-fat as well! Hope you like it! :-)
Ingredients

- 1 tablespoon olive oil shopping list

- In a medium skillet over high heat, cook the crumbles in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, stirring often and reducing the heat to medium, if necessary.
- Drain, and set aside to cool.
- Cook the onion in the same pan, stirring frequently.
- Add the garlic, soy sauce, peanut sauce, ginger, vinegar, and chile pepper sauce to the onions, and stir.
- Stir in chopped water chestnuts, green onions, and sesame oil, and continue cooking until the onions just begin to wilt, about 2 minutes.
- Arrange lettuce leaves around the outer edge of a large serving platter, and pile meat mixture in the center.
- To serve, allow each person to spoon a portion of the crumbles into a lettuce leaf.
- Wrap the lettuce around the crumbles like a burrito, and enjoy!

I love these...when I lived in Las Vegas there was a restaurant,P.F. Chang's, that did these very well. They also had a chicken version which was very good, too.
Yours looks great!
