Let’s Cook
Step 1 – Prepare the Sauce:
Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, coconut aminos, lime juice, ginger, garlic, honey, maple syrup, and water until smooth. Adjust thickness with more water if needed.
Step 2 – Cut Veggies & Cook the Meat:
Cut all veggies accordingly and have them prepped ready to go. Heat a skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add sesame oil, then stir fry meat for 3–5 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Step 3 – Stir-Fry the Veggies:
In the same skillet, stir-fry bell peppers, carrots, zucchini, and snap peas for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender. Add scallions at the end.
Step 4 – Combine:
Return the meat to the skillet with the veggies, drizzle quarter to half the peanut ginger sauce, and toss to coat. Save some for dipping sauces for drizzling on top of lettuce wraps.
Step 5 – Assemble Lettuce Cups:
Spoon a portion of meat and veggie mixture into each lettuce leaf. Drizzle remaining sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs like mint and scallions, and sesame seeds.
Step 6 – Serve & Enjoy:
Serve immediately, letting everyone wrap their own cups for a fun, interactive meal. Enojoy!
