Adrienne's Simple Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Submitted by: Adrienne

- Lettuce leaves, washed and dried (whatever kind you like)
- 1 cup rice, cooked
- 2 chicken breasts, uncooked and cut into strips
- 1 large (or 2 medium) cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/3 to 1/2 c. onions, chopped
- 1/4 to 1/3 c. teriyaki sauce or marinade
- 1/2 c. carrot puree or finely shredded
- 1 Tbsp peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
- 1 tsp ginger
- cilantro, chopped

Cook 1/2 rice in 1 cup water. Set aside. In a skillet, saute chicken, garlic and onions over medium high heat until chicken is done. In a separate bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, carrot puree and peanut butter. Put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds to help melt the peanut butter. Stir and add ginger and cilantro. Add mixture to skillet and stir. Add rice and simmer for about 10 minutes. Scoop onto lettuce leaves and enjoy!

P.S. For some extra heat, add some red pepper or hot sauce (or both!)

Asian Stir-fry with Apricot Glaze

Submitted by: Adrienne

There's really nothing special about the stir-fry itself...you can use whatever meat/veggies you want. The only unique part is the glaze.

Soy sauce
Apricot or Peach jam/preserves

Yes, it's as easy as it looks. Start stir-frying your meat and veggies. Once the meat is at least cooked through, make the glaze. I like to put the jam in first, and then just add the soy sauce little by little to taste. Amount is really up to you. Works great for any Asian type of dish!
