Quick Asian Lettuce Wraps

I made this last night for dinner. It was terrific. I substituted cabbage and water chestnuts for the tofu, used more garlic than called for and left out the vegetable oil completely. It was very tasty and a good summer time meal.

This is one of my all-time favourite recipes.. you can easily make it low-carb with switching to low-carb hoisin sauce, and swapping out the carrots. All my friends wanted the recipe.

Outstanding recipe! Tasted better than PF Changs!

I made these with ground turkey and didn't use tofu (didn't have it on hand). I also served with a sauce suggested in the reviews of another recipe (1 tsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 1 tbsp chile paste). In my opinion the sauce put this recipe over the top! I will definitely be making these on a regular basis. So easy and tasty. Thanks!

Sorry, but I have to tell you...this just didn't work for me at all. I made the filling exactly as described and it was very tasty. But when I tried to wrap the filling, the lettuce kept breaking and they ended up looking just awful.

Very good. It did need additional hoisin, chile paste, soy sauce, & sesame oil. We mixed the rice into the pork mixture which made filling the lettuce leaves a bit easier; however, they are still quite messy. Messy, but yummy!

My husband and I Loved this! We love to eat the wraps at the Yardhouse- and this seemed close to that recipe! I doubled the sauce per someone elses review and added 1 cup crushed peanuts! Awesome! Will definitely make this again

I had been looking for a great lettuce wrap recipe ever since I had them at a famous asian restaurant. These are it!! I made them with local shrimp and they were just divine. I need more practice with pulling the lettuce off in a whole leaf, but this recipe is good enough to keep trying!

This Recipe is great! I have had somehting similar at a restaurant and we loved them! I skipped the meat & used a good amount of tofu.

This recipe is great! I used hot chili oil instead of the chili paste and use bib or butter lettuce instead of the iceberg as it's easier to work with.

We loved this one...taste just like the restaurant lettuce wraps. Made it without the tofu and used ground turkey instead of pork. Very easy to make. A success when craving these yummy wraps!

Outstanding!!!

I was not sure about the tofu in this, so I omitted it. In order to take the recipe to the next level, I added celery and cucumber for some crunch, and cilantro for some extra flavor. It was absolutely fabulous. I was told that I have reached a new pinnacle in my cooking with this one! Always a good thing!

These were ok. Not as good as resturant. They needed more flavor.

this was really good. I skipped the rice and added water chestnuts. I also added a little water to the mix as it was really sweet and dry. I used the Boca Crumbles which were delicious! Added a dash of ground ginger too. Whole family loved it, a bit salty but the juicy lettuce was great with it. My 6 and 2 year old were fans as well. Super healthy and super easy!

I had been craving this for weeks, and this recipe did not disappoint. I completely omitted the rice. I was going to omit the hoisin, too, but it happened to be on sale. I'm glad I didn't! This recipe would've been lacking a lot of oomph without it. It wasn't the neatest meal in the world to eat, but it tasted so good. Maybe nest time I'll eat it like a salad... Perhaps, fry up some won ton chips and eat it like a Chinese Taco Salad? Or, just use a more forgiving lettuce. In either case, I WILL be making these again.

I make a vegetarian version using a package of Yves meatless ground in place of the ground pork. I also add celery (3 sticks thinly sliced), water chestnuts (1/2 can finely chopped), and button mushrooms (7 finely chopped). It turned out specatular.

This was great, the only thing I thought it lacked was some minced ginger.

I love PF Changs lettuce wraps so I thought I would try this recipe, didn't change anything. The recipe was ok, did not taste "just like" PF Changs to me. I think I would try it again, but with ground turkey instead of pork.

I was not fond of this at all. The tofu gave it a very squishy texture that required me to cook it for much longer in order to get rid of it, and even then it was about the consistency of stuffing.

Delicious! Made this for a group of 10 adults and everybody loved it. Even got told it was just as good if not better than PJ Changs. I did add a little teryaki sauce to it.

These lettuce wraps were an interesting experiment. I was searching for a recipe similar to the wraps served at PF Chang's. This was good, but not the same. The chicken mixture did NOT look appealing. I would not make this again.

Yum! The possibilities are endless! I didn't have Hoisin, so I used soy and teriyaki sauces. I also micro-planed ginger with the garlic. I added finely diced mushrooms, celery, carrots, water chestnuts. I really love the "kitchen sink" adaptability this recipe allows and will make it again and again!

We would have rated this four out of five stars, but then we added more chili paste and hoisin sauce (not very much sauce came out of the original recipe). Also, used turkey and tofu and it was excellent! Thanks for a great lettuce wrap recipe!

super tasty! instead of having rice with it i added cabbage to the meat mixture and it turned out great!

Really good. I added water chestnuts to give it some crunch and didn't use tofu. I don't think the rice is necessary so next time I'll probably omit it. Super easy, too!

Love it! The flavor was just right! Will make it again! Husband said it needs to be in regular rotation!

yum! I toss the carros, green onions and some red bell pepper into a food processor to coarsely shred it all to add in. Great recipe!

This is a perfect healthy summer recipe...I added red bell pepper and bean sprouts...next time I think I will use ground turkey instead.....thanks for the recipe.

Yep, they're messy...but so worth it! I doubled the sauce as others suggested and it was perfection!

Thoroughly enjoyed this recipe. I substituted the pork with a meatless alternative (Crumbles), to make this a vegetarian meal. It was easy to make and tasted delicious.

these were AMAZING! i opted out the pork and substituted it for turkey. i also didn't use the tofu (i don't like tofu). but these were amazing, i will definitely keep this recipe. it was light yet filling, perfect for summer.

Great Asian tate and super easy to prepare. Even young kids enjoy this one.

Better than eating out! My entire family asks for this recipe all the time now since making it. It's become a staple.

This was delicious! I added Water Chestnuts and mushrooms!!! 5 stars!

Delicious! I coarsely chopped a can of water chestnuts and used them in place of the tofu. We also had some family members eat it salad-style, scooping the meat mixture and rice over a bed of chopped lettuce.

Excellent! I used ground chicken instead of the pork, added chopped water chesnuts and they were very tasty. I also used Boston Bibb Lettuce. Super quick and so easy to whip together. My husband loves PF Chang's wraps and he loved these. Totally a keeper!

Just made these tonight and we scarfed them down! Yum yum yum! Toasted sesame seeds or cashews will be goin in the mix next time as well, thanks for sharing!

My family loved this. I used ground chicken instead of pork and took the advice of another review and used water chestnuts instead of tofu. I also added fresh mint (dried mint works too). I didn't have any chile paste so just eliminated it. The dish was delicious and a total hit. There were NO leftovers.

A bit salty for our taste

Delicious. We used shrimp over pork, added a little fish sauce and brown rice.

This was very good! I found that iceberg lettuce works the best.

It was a little too sweet and there wasn't enough sauce.

We loved this recipe, although I made some changes. I used water chestnuts instead of tofu, and added sweet chili sauce instead of the paste. I also added a little more hoisin sauce and soy sauce. Very tasty!

These were fast & delicious. Everyone loved these. I did chage up a couple ingrediets, but that's what makes this recipe so wonderful! Used ground chicken, that was what was on sale at my store. We also don't really do Tofu, so I minced up a entire box of fresh muchrooms, plus a medium miced onion. No one was the wiser:) Everything else went in, & my family loved the results. Great recipe that allows you to work with what you have. Going in the rotation for sure.

Very good, but not as good as lettuce wraps you would find at a restaurant. Might make again, but will try out other recipes first.

I was really excited to make these but wasn't impressed. I know the reviews for this dish are great but I guess that my taste buds are different. My boyfriend didn't like it either. We followed the recipe carefully and just didn't add hot chile paste and white rice. I wonder if the chile paste would have given the dish proper flavor because what we had was bland and bizarre tasting. Plus, I just saw the calories for this dish and they are extremely high! I generally think that meat and veggies are healthy to cook together but with 837 calories for this appetizer, it is not worth it.

Great recipe — tastes like the stuff you get at restaurants. I didn't use the rice...I didn't think it was necessary. Instead of tofu (I used mine in another recipe, ha), I added chopped bok choy and added it in with the carrots. I also added a tbsp of grated ginger. Tastes great!

Make sure there's enough filling - I subbed water chestnuts for the meat and the hoisin sauce was a little overwhelming. I was hoping for a PF Chang's type lettuce wrap and these just didn't do it for me. Won't be making again.

Very tasty. Great for my toddler who is on a wheat free diet. I didn't have any tofu and I used brown rice.

very good. instead of using ground pork I used pork sausage and omitted the tofu. Also, don't like hoisin so used Costco's teriyaki sauce. Everyone loved it.!

um, YUM!!! Followed the recipe, except for the fact that I'm a vegetarian, so I just did tofu. (I actually did SmartStrips brand chicken strips since they kinda resembled the pork. (I should have put in two boxes to make up for no pork, but whatevvvs!) Also, added once sliced red pepper and one sliced yellow onion. I'm soooo impressed. (Oh yeah, skimped on the rice... toooo lazzzzy!!!)

I'm vegan, so substituted extra-firm tofu for the pork. Meat-eating spouse and friends didn't even know the difference! Excellent recipe!

Very tasty! Much healthier than deep fried spring rolls too. I skipped the tofu and used chopped peanuts.

Yum!!!!!!!

rico

These were DELISH! I followed the recipe almost exactly- added 1/2 again as much of the 'sauce' ingredients because I used 1.5lbs of pork. These were REALLY good! We'd add some fresh chopped cilantro next time and some chopped peanuts too! Very tasty- very easy- very easy to clean up! YUM! Thanks for this!

I did not like this recipe at all. The filling was not saucy enough. I would not make this again or recommend it to anyone.

These were very tasty and filling! My family enjoyed the flavors as well as the novelty of eating them.

Very good! Didn't have Tofu or carrots. Used green peppers turned out great! I'll add peanuts next time!! Very easy and quick

Love PF Chang's wraps, these aren't them. But with some sesame oil, extra firm tofu and a side of love, they can be wonderful.

This recipe is really good. I like the filling on top of rice as well. However I would strongly suggest doubling the sauce otherwise it comes out a bit dry

This was sooo good, I have been looking for this recipe for years. I doubled the sauce which is a must, everyone really liked it. It is a good way to get tofu into the family one tip is to really dice the tofu up very small, and if you are clumsy like me buy two heads of lettuce in order to get enough pieces to actually use for wrapping

We loved it. My friends stopped by to play Wii after supper and ending up eating all our leftovers!! Very tasty.

This really tasted sooooooooo good. Tasted like that at the restaurant. My Husband said this. I had substituted ground turkey for pork. Thanks a lot for the recipe.

Excellent Recipe! I substituted ground chicken breast for the pork, as my grocery didn't have any the day that I went and also used thinly sliced mushrooms in place of tofu. This turned out wonderful and was just like eating lettuce wraps at my favorite Chinese restaurant.

This recipe was a great, but I had to make a few adjustments. I substituted chicken instead of pork, I took out the tofu completely and added red, green, and yellow peppers as well as water chestnuts. I also went heavy on the hoisin sause and the chili paste.

We thought these were good, I made them with only tofu because we don't like pork much. I think they might be better with something crunchy noodles.

i use turkey meat on this...love it

Yum Yum!!! I love it, I don't know about my family so far.

I have always had chopped water chestnuts in my lettuce wraps, so I added then and they were a great addition!

Great, fresh flavor. I used what I had in the refrigerator and it still worked out very well!

My boyfriend and I LOVED this dish. It was very easy to make and better than PEI WEI. I like mine with a bit more tang. I doubled the sauces, added a teaspoon of garlic powder, and 3 Tbs of sweet chili sauce. VERY GOOD!!!!!

I tried this recipe over the weekend. Although hesitant about the ground pork, I tried it anyways. I will substitute chopped chicken breast next time. The texture of the ground pork was kind of weird to me. We also left out the tofu and added chopped mushrooms. It was really a great flavor. Thanks for sharing.

Made this with finely chopped chicken breast as that is what I had on hand - truly loved the sauce. A tasty (although messy) meal!

Made these with ground chicken instead of pork and they were excellent! Will definately make these again. Everyone loved them, even the kids!

Such a good basic recipe for wraps! I made the following modifications and it turned out great: used ground turkey instead of pork, used water chestnuts in place of tofu (per someone else's review) because my husband isn't a huge fan of tofu, used peanut oil instead of sesame (because I didn't have any), and used Tabasco in place of hot chili paste (I didn't have that either). We also used romaine lettuce instead of iceberg. It was a hit with my husband and my 2 year old daughter!

This recipe is killer! I left out the tofu, and doubled the sauce ingredients as a lot of the other reviewers suggested, used a little less sesame because it's how we prefer it, and instead of ground pork we got loin (less fat) and put it in the food mill to mince. Came out perfect. The sauce has an awesome flavor, used a little extra hoisin because we love it. I served it with steakhouse-style ginger sauce, and even my picky eaters got seconds. And, for those that are dieting on WW, it is like 3 points per serving, minus the rice. Definitely adding this to my repertoire.

Excellent!!! Will make this again. I used ground turkey breast to cut down on calories, and left out the rice to be "low carb". I was unable to find hot chile paste at Safeway, so I used a couple of tablespoons of "Sriracha" hot chili sauce (the bottle with the rooster on it). Also added water chestnuts. So yummy!!! Thanks for this recipe!

Great dish - hit of the party. But I made some changes based on other reviewers comments; Skipped the Tofu, added Sweet Chili Sauce, added waterchestnuts & shredded carrots (good for color & texture), topped each serving with sesame seeds. I made it as an appetizer using endive and no rice. I also served it as a main dish using nappa cabbage instead of lettuce because it holds together better.

Perfect! For those having Trouble with the lettuce leaf's. Try using romaine leaf's instead of the iceberg. You can scoop mixture right in the romaine and you will also get more nutritional bang for your buck! ;)

Made this for dinner tonight and LOVED it!!! I changed it up ever so slightly: used a whole head of garlic (minced)and omitted the tofu. Instead of the iceberg lettuce "wrap" I chopped up romaine hearts, put it into a bowl, added a bit of white steamed rice, A drizzle of sriracha chili sauce on the rice and then topped it with the minced pork mixture. Thanks!

I made it with chicken and used zucchini instead of tofu... but like tofu, the zucchini soaked up all the sauce flavors and was wonderful. I also didn't have hoisin sauce so I used half the amount of miso paste. I know - very different - but I really liked it! The only time the wraps didn't have enough flavor was when I used too much rice on the lettuce; the proportions of the meat to rice need to be right. But the Flavor is there! :) thanks for a great recipe!

They were a bit on the salty side, and I LIKE SALTY. If I were to make them again I would change it a bit. Overall, they tasted good.

I adjusted the recipe to suit what I had on hand and our personal tastes. I chopped up pork into bite-sized pieces because I didn't have minced pork, I didn't have tofu or the recipe, and since I like food with a kick, I added 2 T of hot chile paste. We also used romaine lettuce because that is what we had. It was a little messy, but very satisfying. We will make it with minced pork and tofu next time.

Tastes pretty good although I think the seasonings can be doubled especially if you eat it with white rice. The rice made the dish a little bland.

Came out great. Next time I will add some more vegetables!

better to use romaine lettuce but a very nice filling indeed ty for sharing

These were great! Only modifications for next time would be to cut the rice in half, quickly sautee the tofu so it gets a crust and maybe double the sauce. Couldnt find chili paste, so garlic chili sauce was a recommended substitution online. I at least tripled this part and would even double that for some good solid heat.

Wonderful! We added peanuts and some chopped green cabbage. I didn't have chili paste, so substituted Sriracha and they still came out great. I can see this as a staple on our family menu.

By far my favorite lettuce wraps. I have tried quite a few recipes and this one is the best in my opinion. This one is a keeper.

As is the only thing that should be changed was to use butter lettuce, it makes better wraps. But what gives this recipe 5 stars is its easily adapted to you families tastes to make it perfect. We ended up adding in more carrots, finely dicing the tofu, and serving it with sweet chili sauce. We started to each make our own wraps as we ate but just gave up on the wraps and ate it over lettuce with the rice, it was just as good. I'll be making this again.

Really great! I did feel like something was missing from the sauce. Not sure what that is, but I will definitely try these again. I added water chestnuts for crunch, and used beef instead of pork.

Very tasty!!

So yummy! Per other reviewers, I doubled the sauce and it was perfect. This recipe is great because you can make it your own by adding other stir-fry ingredients. I added mushrooms, peanuts and chopped baby corn - all of which were left-overs I had in my fridge!

Yum! These are good and quick.

Great Friday night dinner, my children and husband all agreed that this was delicious. I used organic turkey and pork to save a few grams of fat and calories. My children didnot even suspect the tofu! I will make this again. Thank you for a great recipe.

Yum-o! I made these for a girls night in and there was nothing left.

as good as P.F. Chang's!
