P. F. Chang's Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps

Recipe #259294 | 25 min | 20 min prep | add private note

By: Chef #615112
Oct 16, 2007

Finally — The VEGGIE Version! After scouring the internet for the vegetarian lettuce wraps, I finally broke down and decided to tweak the ubiquitous chicken recipe and this worked out great! The cooking sauce is from the original recipe but is enough for two batches of the veggie version so make go ahead and make the full recipe and reserve half for another batch. Save in a jar and store in the fridge until needed. Another tip: when buying bamboo shoots, get the strips. This will cut down on prep time as all you have to do is dice these. I've also included a sauce for adding to the individual wraps after cooking (just like in the restaurant!) I like my sauce spicy so you may want to experiment with the ingredients for a milder version.

the best thing about this recipe was the spicy sauce. otherwise a very poor imitation of PF Changs. what a waste of time and effort. Way too mushy and wet - not at all like PF Changs.
