korean lettuce cups
Got this recipe from Darrel a friend of mine who loves oriental food like me. These are so yummy. I had a little trouble finding the ingredients but please don't delete any. I did use Black Bean Garlic paste because I could find just plain Bean Paste. The Chili sauce is not enough to make it hot which I liked. I followed it exactly. Enjoy

How To Make korean lettuce cups
-
Step 1Separate lettuce leaves, rinse and dry. Set aside. Mix together the turkey, scallions, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a medium bowl. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Heat a Wok or large pan over medium high heat until hot. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of corn oil or safflower oil and heat for 20-30 seconds. Add the meat mixture and stir-fry, breaking up the lumps, until the meat loses it's pink color. Drain in a colander and wipe the pan clean with a paper towel. Return drained meat mixture to the pan along with the spicy sauce over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the meat. To serve, spoon about 1 1/2 T of meat onto the lettuce cup and add Sriracha or chili paste to taste
