    Chicken

    Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps

    These chicken wraps can be a side but also an appetizer or main dish- if an appetizer or main, serve with these lettuce wrap sides.

    Beef

    Korean beef lettuce wraps.
    Thinly sliced sirloin is marinated in a savory-sweet blend of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, pureed pear, and warm spices, then quickly seared until caramelized. Serve the beef in crisp butter lettuce leaves with kimchi, pickled red onions, microgreens, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili sauce for a fresh, flavorful meal that's perfect as a light dinner, appetizer, or bowl topping. This simple yet authentic recipe lets the bold, umami-rich flavors shine-all in about 30 minutes!

    Hi I'm Zhen also known as GGG! I couldn't boil water till I was 18! However, I love creating community and nurturing people, so when I lived abroad (in St. Andrews then London) for 11 years, I started hosting regular parties for friends, and that's how I started cooking and helping out in professional kitchens. (Couldn't cook before that!) I even organised a supper club for charity (which strangers came to!) Learning to cook late, I make sure my recipes go into enough detail for those new to Asian cuisine or who love a test kitchen approach to cooking!
