Nicole is always really good about complaining when we are running low on groceries but without her around I decided to see how far I could stretch it. I think it's fun to see what you can come up with out of the stuff that's been sitting the in cabinet and freezer for months and months. This time I was fortunate to make something entirely delicious! So delicious in fact that I went back to the store to buy more ingredients to make it again!
Dom's Super Simple Fake Chicken Lettuce Wrap Recipe
Prep time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
Any kind of whole large leaf lettuce (I used the stuff with purple tips, slightly rotten)
Morning Star Farms Chik'n Strips (1/2 package, freezer burned)
Soy Sauce (I used Kikkoman packets left over from ordering chinese food)
Sesame Seed Oil (Don't know why we even have it)
To prepare:
Heat oil in pan
Toss in freezer burned fake chicken
Add a couple packets of soy sauce
Cook chik'n until brown
Remove from heat and let cool
Break off whole leaves of lettuce and rinse (and remove any rotten part)
Place chik'n strips in lettuce leaf
Fold carefully and stuff it in your face
I think next time I might add a little white minute rice to make the chik'n go a little farther but that easily triples the preparation time and who's got an additional 10 minutes?

Isn't making random foods with whatever is left in the kitchen kind of fun. I love just getting a bunch of random ingredients and trying to make something interesting and delicious.
