Ingredients

16 Boston Bibb or butter lettuce leaves

1 pound vegetarian ground crumbles (Ex:Boca, Morning Star Farms)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves fresh garlic, minced

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1/4 cup Thai peanut sauce

2 teaspoons minced pickled ginger

1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

Asian chile pepper sauce (optional)

1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped

1 bunch green onions, chopped

2 teaspoons Asian (dark) sesame oil

Directions

Rinse whole lettuce leaves and pat dry, being careful not tear them. Set aside.

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!
