How to make Thai Lettuce Wraps

" In this article you are going to learn how to make some Thai lettuce wraps, this is a favorite in my house and I am going to show you what the secrets are behind the best Thai lettuce wraps. While there may be a lot of ingredients, it is a really simple process so I encourage you to read this article if you are interested in making your own tasty Thai lettuce wraps."

List of ingredients

50 ml of sesame oil

100 ml of NamaShoyu (organic soy sauce)

Red pepper flakes

50 grams of sesame seeds

100 ml of raw honey

50 grams of fresh graded garlic

200 grams of walnuts

150 grams of carrots

150 grams of celery

100 grams of green onion

50 grams of fresh cilantro

300 grams of butter lettuce

"In the processor, we are going to put some sesame oil, some NamaShoyu, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds & raw honey, use whatever brand you like just make sure that it is raw and wild.

Add some fresh grated garlic, some ginger and remember that when you mix garlic with ginger you have a really wicked taste that makes an amazingly tied dish if you also combine those two flavors 

with some honey and some red pepper. Keep in mind that the processor can do most of the job but I like to grate it because it distributes it evenly and by grating it evenly we avoid any misbalance in taste.

 When you are grating ginger you don’t have to worry about taking the skin off. Now that you placed all the ingredients it is time to whip all of these ingredients together."

" Now it is time for the second round of mixing, just throw in the main ingredient of our meal, the high protein walnuts, throw in some carrots, celery, green onion and some fresh cilantro.

This time I'm not going to mix the ingredients too hard, I am just going to pulse them so that they are a bit more consistent. Now that you are done with mixing the second turn of ingredients just get some butter lettuce and use it to support your ingredients."

" Strictly because of aesthetic purposes, I like to garnish the lettuce with some carrots and some mung beans."
