You can use any quick cooking brown rice that you want as long as it ends up being a cup of cooked rice (about 1/4 cup uncooked).Ĭook the rice according to the directions on the box. I used the “Uncle Ben’s Boil in a Bag Brown Rice,” because it only takes ten minutes to cook (and I like the little baggies…). When that comes to a boil, you are going to add the brown rice. So you start the lettuce wraps by bringing a medium pot of water to boil over high heat. Oh! I forgot about another particularly great thing…they only take 30 minutes to make! The cashews give the lettuce wraps extra flavor as well as texture. This recipe is kind of a mix between Cashew Chicken and lettuce wraps….and I really love both of those things….so in my opinion, that is an awesome mix to have. The second great thing about these lettuce wraps is that they include cashews. So they effectively doubled their appetizer every time! Changs a lot and would get the lettuce wrap appetizer, ask for extra rice on the side, and mix it into their filling. They used to eat at a restaurant called P.F. I actually got this idea from my brother, Lyndon, and his wife, Amanda. This basically takes your lettuce wrap filling and doubles it without sacrificing any flavor. There are a couple of great things about these lettuce wraps in particular.įirst of all, they use brown rice. Boone tried to as well…and succeeded a few times. Which is exactly what I wanted to do while I was eating these…and while I was photographing them. In my opinion, the mark of a great lettuce wrap is when you want to ditch the lettuce and just attack the filling with a fork.
