    I have been eating lettuce wraps at PF Changs and Cheese Cake Factory for years. I never thought I would come close to replicating them. In my opinion, this recipe is EVEN BETTER. I cook very healthy and noticed that the first ingredient in hoisin sauce was sugar in the regular grocery store. If you can get it organic, sugar is not even in the ingredients and it's only about $4/$5. I made these with chicken instead of beef and added some water chestnuts. Thank you for the FABLOUS recipe!

    This is definitely my go-to recipe for lettuce wraps. It's easy and fast. I do add chopped or sliced water chestnuts to the recipe and a red or orange sliced baby bell pepper for color. Also, I love toppings and sauces such as cilantro, julienned carrots, bean sprouts and store bought peanut sauce. Great presentation and healthy (especially if you sub ground turkey or chicken!

    This was amazing!! I love how it's not a ton of ingredients, but you still get a TON of flavor. I used ground chicken instead of beef, because I'm trying to cut out red meat. I also didn't use the peanuts because I can't eat them. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly and it was so delicious. Leftovers reheat really well too. Tasted even better when I ate it for lunch the next day. I can't wait to make this again!

    Tip for perfect lettuce cups: Cut around the stem of the head of lettuce (I use Iceberg lettuce, because it's easily found and remove it (don't cut too deep. After you remove the stem, remove the leaves starting from the stem side. They should come off smoothly and have a perfect cup shape. Enjoy!

    This is a five star recipe simply because you get great results with minimal effort. Not to be confused with a 5 star rating for cassoulet (which would have to be sublime to get 5 stars. Two of my family members are on a low carb diet and that's why this recipe got chosen. Don't skip the nuts because, the texture profile of a nut or some other crunchy item is important. Another poster suggested water chestnuts which I think is also a good idea.

    HOLY COW! This recipe is absolutely delicious! I used diced water chestnuts instead of peanuts (it's what I had on hand Followed the recipe to a T otherwise. Every last bite was eaten between 3 people. Even better than dining out!

    At the last minute I added a couple squirts of honey- it didn't really need it, but it was delicious :O

    These were really yummy! I used blanched spring cabbage and it works out perfectly. I also added some extra red pepper flakes as I like things spicy. Will definitely make this again!
