Notes
You could also top the lettuce wraps with some Cauliflower rice and the mixture!
Recipe is amazing. Best part is the cooking process only requires the wok, so it’s a true one-pot meal. Our nine-year old pretty much sticks to hot dogs, chicken nuggets, and grilled cheese, but he loved it.
Hey Zac! So pumped to hear you enjoyed this recipe and that it was kid friendly too! Hope you have a fantastic day!
