2-3 carrots, peeled and then shredded
2 celery stalks, diced
1 onion, chopped fine
2-3 cloves garlic
1 lb lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
1 tsp sesame oil (can omit)
1/4 cup soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 cups of cooked white or brown rice
Directions:
1/4 cup soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 cups of cooked white or brown rice
Directions:
Separate leaves of lettuce from head, and wash each leaf well. Dry in between paper towels and set aside.
Cook ground meat in a large skillet with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, if you have it. If you are using ground turkey, you will probably need a tablespoon or two of oil as you cook it.
Once the meat is cooked, remove from pan with a slotted spoon and cook chopped veggies in the remaining oil until soft. Return meat to pan and mix with veggies and soy sauce. Add a cup or two of cooked rice, if desired. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium heat for a few more minutes, until ingredients are well mixed and heated.
Serve by wrapping leaves of lettuce around several tablespoons of meat.
