Stir Fry Lettuce Wraps

I started this blog because I get a number of calls from friends and family (which I LOVE when people do this) for recipes I have made them or have shared, or if they have a cooking question.  I love love love it when people call me for a cooking question, so I decided I wanted a public recipe box to refer people to..... for all those food fans out there.....

For those of you just wanting the recipe just skip down below, but for those of you who enjoy a quick read I will try to pleasure your mind for a paragraph or two.  This meal was created a while ago for a fun cooking video I made for my family.  It has been improved since then, and I must say it is delicious!
Asian cooking is always fun, because you usually use fresh ingredients and for some reason it always tastes better when you cook it at home!  These stirfry lettuce wraps don't have to be wrapped at all.  It can just simply be stir fry and call it a night!  But for me and my precious Husband, we love the crisp, fresh crunch of the lettuce as we are pleasurly eating the stir fry.

A few random facts about me.
I like to call my house "the little house on the block".
I love when my husband get's home from work.
I eat an apple everyday. (gala)
I love Smith.
I love life.
and I love love love love love to cook.
People call me the food snob and I think it's funny.

For the recipe now


1egg, beaten
2 chicken breasted, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 t. fresh ginger, minced
2 cups of fresh baby spinach, chopped
1 orange bell pepper, diced
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup braggs liquid aminos, or soy sauce
1 T. agave nectar, or honey
1/4 tsp. chili garlic sauce. (you can add more if you like spicy.)
4 cups of cooked rice.
 lettuce, whatever you have, I like butter lettuce, but you can use romain, or iceburg.




These are delicious ingredients I use.

 I like to rinse my rice and drain it  before adding the water it boils in....a little trick south americans use, it makes for a fluffy texture vs. a sticky texture.

I also put a paper towel inbetween the pot and the lid,  when it starts to boil I fold over the edges.

Add olive oil to your pan and Beat the egg,  fry it just till its done.  Transfer the cooked egg to a bowl

if your garlic has a green stem growin in the middle, remove it before mincing, the stem adds a bitter flavor, not very pleasurable for the palate.

Brown chicken

When Chicken is brown add all your vegetables.

yummmm.....singular sensation!

Add your soy sauce or I like to use Bragg's Liquid Aminos, trust me, once you use this you will never go back to regular soy sauce again, not only is it nutritious but it has a flavor that is unparalled to all other soy sauces on the market.

Add red pepper garlic sauce

Then your agave, you can use honey too.

Stir in your cooked rice

Once rice is stirred in, add your egg

break up your egg right in the middle of your stirfry and stir it into the mixture.

And walllaaaa  Yummmy yummy to my tummy, stirfy lettuce wraps.....yoooooooohoooooooo!!!!!
