Lettuce Wraps

I love to serve lettuce wraps.  Everyone can just pick and choose what they like/want.  My inspiration for this meal is from the Cheesecake Factory.  I will list the things we usually put in the wraps but really anything works.  The best part about it...the peanut sauce.  We could drink it (or some of us could).


Lettuce wraps

Large lettuce leaves, to place desired fillings in
Diced, cooked chicken--seasoned to your likeness
Rice (I like to combine  brown and white rice)
water chestnuts, chopped
sliced cucumbers, chopped
mushrooms, chopped
carrots, chopped
peanuts, chopped
cilantro, chopped
lime wedges, squeeze on top

Once filled with desired ingredients, drizzle sauce on top.

Peanut Sauce

1/2 cup peanut butter (I use creamy but chunky would work great too)
1/2 cup water (start with less and add more to make it to desired consistency)
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
Dash of hot sauce (I use Frank's)
Bit of chopped cilantro

Put all ingredients in a small saucepan,except cilantro.  Bring just to a boil and remove from heat.  Stir in cilantro and add more water if needed.
