I love lettuce wraps, but if your kids want to put the filling in a tortilla or just eat it over rice in a bowl, that’s fine too. This recipe can be made with ground chicken or tofu and is light and delicious either way. Leftovers work well too.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 ½ pounds ground chicken or extra firm tofu, diced
1 pound cremini mushrooms, chopped
1-inch knob of fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
6 scallions, sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons Jamie Geller Silan (date honey)
Kosher salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
1 head Boston or Bibb lettuce, leaves washed and dried
3 cups cooked short grain brown rice
Garnish: ¼ cup chopped salted peanuts

Preparation

In a large saute pan, heat extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken or tofu and mushrooms and cook for 10 minutes, until browned. Stir in ginger, garlic, scallions, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and silan. Cook mixture for 4 minutes more, then taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
To serve, layer two lettuce leaves per wrap. Scoop a heaping spoonful of brown rice into each lettuce cup, then a spoonful of the mixture, then sprinkle with peanuts, and serve immediately.
