This recipe is just like one I found in a low-carb cookbook. If you aren't doing low carb, you can use real sugar. Make sure to taste as you go along and adjust the flavors to your liking. Enjoy!

How To Make low carb low fat asian lettuce wraps with dipping sauce

Step 1

To make the lettuce wraps, whisk together the soy sauce, molasses, rice vinegar, garlic, and Splenda; Set aside. Finely chop the water chestnuts, mushrooms, and scallions. Combine and set aside.

Step 2

Heat a pan over medium-high and add the vegetable oil. (If you have a non-stick pan, you won't need oil.) Add the ground meat and break it up as it cooks. Cook until half the pink is gone, about 5 minutes. Add the vegetables and continue cooking for 3-5 more minutes until the meat is done.
Step 3

Add the soy sauce mixture to the pan and simmer about 5 minutes, stirring often.Taste the mixture and adjust to your liking. You may want to add more of the sauce ingredients. Scrape the pan to get all the bits off of the bottom.
Step 4

While the meat simmers, make the dipping sauce. Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Adjust to taste. The sauce should be sweet and tangy (and spicy, if you like).
Step 5

Remove the outer leaves of the lettuce then make 2 cuts, one to each side, leaving the center section for use in a salad later). If using romaine, trim the bottoms off the leaves and rinse. You will use these as "wraps."
Step 6

Serve the meat and lettuce separately. Spoon a bit of meat in the center of a lettuce leaf and roll it up. Repeat. To eat, dip in the sauce.
