Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients:
1 lb ground meat (we've used turkey and pork)
1/2 medium onion, minced (I've used dried as well)
salt and pepper
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 inch nob fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1 Tbsp sesame oil (I've also used peanut oil)
2 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp natural peanut butter
1/2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp rice vinegar
2 tsp siracha
3 green onions, chopped
10-12 large outer lettuce leave, rinsed and patted dry
optional:
1/2 8oz can sliced water chestnuts, drained and chopped
chopped cabbage
1/4 cup peanuts, chopped

Instructions:
1. Heat a large, non-stick skillet on high.  Add meat, onion, salt and pepper, and cook until chick is nearly done, stirring often to break up the meat.  Add in minced ginger and garlic, and continue cooking until meat is no longer pink.
2. Meanwhile, in a microwave safe bowl, combine oil, soy sauce, water, peanut butter, honey, rice vinegar, siracha, and dash of fresh pepper.  Microwave for 20 seconds, then stir until smooth.  Add into the skillet and stir to combine.
3. Add green onions and optional chestnuts or cabbage into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until onions are soft and the chestnuts are heated through.
4. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts (optional), and serve with cold lettuce leaves.  (Also really good on large pieces of red, orange, or yellow bell peppers.

We also serve it with rice and dipping sauce.
