Thai Chicken Lettuce Cups image

Lettuce wraps make light, lively appetizers. These are easy to make because the slow cooker does most of the work. Just load it up and let things get cooking. When the chicken is cooked, just shred and serve. -Robin Haas, West Roxbury, Massachusetts

TERIYAKI SALMON LETTUCE CUPS



Teriyaki Salmon Lettuce Cups image

There are two ingredients that make these lettuce cups notable: pickled ginger and sliced nori. The vinegary ginger and the salty seaweed round out the sweet and savory flavor profile of these lettuce cups. And if you're not into salmon, this recipe works just as well with thinly sliced steak or chicken breast.

Yield 14 to 16 lettuce cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup sushi rice
1 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon superfine sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 pound salmon, cut into 14 to 16 strips

14 to 16 leaves Little Gem lettuce
1/4 cup pickled ginger

Steps:

  • Cook the rice as the label directs. Whisk the vinegar and sugar in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves, then stir into the rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

  • Divide the rice among the lettuce cups. Top each with a piece of salmon, some sauce, the pickled ginger, scallions and nori.

Delicious and bursting with flavor, Asian lettuce wraps are a great idea for entertaining or a family style meal. Each person can build their own fresh, delicious wrap. Just be sure to have plates or napkins available since the mixture can sometimes drip a little. To serve, allow each person to spoon a portion of the meat into a lettuce leaf. Wrap the lettuce around the meat like a burrito and enjoy!
