We haven&#8217;t made it to Kelowna in a while and I had a hankering for the wraps, so I decided to make them at home. Google was no help on finding their secret recipe so I assembled what I thought they were made of and I have to tell you &#8211; they came pretty close. I think maybe a little more soya sauce would have made them identical.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dutchblitz.net\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Lettuce-Wraps-1sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-227\" title=\"Lettuce Wraps\" src=\"http:\/\/dutchblitz.net\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Lettuce-Wraps-1sm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dutchblitz.net\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Lettuce-Wraps-1sm.jpg 450w, https:\/\/dutchblitz.net\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Lettuce-Wraps-1sm-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here is what I did:<\/p>\n<p><strong>INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>* 2 Tbsp. oil for stir-frying<br \/>\n* 1 head fresh iceberg lettuce (or any kind of lettuce you can use for a wrap)(or a flour wrap if you&#8217;re like my husband and prefer bread over lettuce)<br \/>\n* 3 cloves garlic, minced<br \/>\n* 1 tsp minced ginger<br \/>\n* 1 red jalapeno, de-seeded and finely sliced (omit if you prefer very mild wraps)(it wasn&#8217;t overly spicy &#8211; I might add two next time)<br \/>\n* 2 shallots, finely sliced<br \/>\n* 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded, (could use cooked baby shrimp or pork as well)<br \/>\n* 1 carrot, grated<br \/>\n* 6 mushrooms, thinly sliced<br \/>\n* 1\/2 cup shredded cabbage (I used green because I had it on hand, but red would work too)<br \/>\n* 4 green onions, chopped<br \/>\n* 2 cups bean sprouts<br \/>\n* (You could also add noodles &#8211; I opted to leave them out.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>SAUCE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>3 Tbsp. lime juice<br \/>\n3 Tbsp. regular soy sauce<br \/>\n3 Tbsp. peanut satay sauce<\/p>\n<p>(I pre-mixed this in a measuring cup.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>TOPPINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 cup fresh cilantro (or basil, if you dislike cilantro), roughly chopped<br \/>\n1\/2 cup fresh dry roasted peanuts, chopped or ground<\/p>\n<p><strong>INSTRUCTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Drizzle oil into a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ginger, red jalapeno and shallots. Stir-fry one minute or until fragrant.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stir-frying tip: add water whenever the wok gets dry instead of more oil.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>2. Add chicken (or shrimp\/pork), carrot, mushrooms, cabbage, and green onions. As you stir-fry, add the sauce. Stir-fry 1-2 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>3. Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry briefly to mix.<\/p>\n<p>4. Cut off the stem part of the iceberg lettuce so it&#8217;s easier to separate the leaves.<\/p>\n<p>5. Heap 2 tablespoons (or more) of filling in the center. Top with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro (or basil) and peanuts.<\/p>\n<p>I had the leftovers for lunch today and they tasted even better.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When my husband and I head to Kelowna for a date night, we almost always go to Joey&#8217;s Grill for dinner because not only do we love their atmosphere, we love their chicken lettuce wraps.
