Asianlettuce Roll-Ups

• Filling
• 1 pound ground chicken, beef, or turkey, or leftover meat/seafood of any kind
• 1 medium carrot, minced or grated
• 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 small red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 head romaine lettuce, separated, washed, and dried
• 2-3 green onions, sliced at an angle, for garnish
• handful Chopped unsalted peanuts or cashews, for garnish (optional)
• 1 cup leftover brown (or white) rice
• Sauce
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth, or water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh minced or grated ginger root
• 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame oil
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoons Chinese Five Spice

1. Preparation: Put the sauce ingredients in a small bowl, stir or whisk to combine set aside.
2. Heat a large saute pan or wok on medium-high heat. Cook the meat until juices start to be released, breaking it up as you cook.
3. Add the carrot, broccoli, bell pepper and other vegetables. Continue stirring and breaking up the meat until it is thoroughly cooked.
4. Turn the heat down to medium-low, give the sauce a stir or a whisk, and add it to the pan. Add the rice and toss until all is well-coated and heated through.
5. Serve the meat/rice mixture and lettuce leaves separately on a plate, put the meat in the leaves with a spoon, then sprinkle with nuts and/or green onions and eat it rolled up in the lettuce leaves like a taco.
