Quick and Easy Asian Lettuce Wraps

Happy Friday!  I am so excited that the weekend is here so I can get caught up on a little sleep!  I have been extra tired this week with the whole time change thing but it sure has been nice enjoying that extra hour of daylight in the evenings.  I can just feel spring waiting to burst through!


With the arrival of the warmer weather this week, I thought that a spring-like lunch was in order.  These Asian lettuce wraps are easily made in less than 15 minutes and were so yummy!  I love making extra and taking it for lunch the next day too. Theoretically this should make 2 servings but I can eat it all myself! 🙂

Ingredients

• 1 package Raman noodles
• 2 tsp. soy sauce
• 1/2 tbsp. warm water
• 1 tsp. rice wine vinegar
• 1 tsp. peanut butter
• 3/4 tsp. sugar
• 3/4 tsp. dark sesame oil
• 3/4 cup vegetables {use grated carrot or cucumber, thinly sliced zucchini or red pepper, small cauliflower florets, etc.}

Directions

• Boil water and cook Raman noodles according to the package directions.  Drain and rinse under cool water.
• Whisk soy sauce with water, rice wine vinegar, peanut butter, sugar, dark sesame oil.
• Prepare the vegetables of your choice.
• Toss the dressing, noodles, and vegetables together.  Wrap in lettuce leaves.
• Use a toothpick to hold together if you would like.

These also taste great with some crushed peanuts or, if you are in Canada, Superstore has an awesome Asian salad topper that is perfect!

Have a great weekend and hopefully you have a little spring sunshine to brighten up your day!
