These delightful lettuce wraps are filled with garlic-ginger flavored plant-based ground beef and mixed vegetables.
To make the sauce, simply mix the ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
To start the dish, heat a large, non-stick fry pan or wok over medium heat. Add the oils, followed by the ginger, garlic and green onions. Stir and cook the aromatics for a couple of minutes, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Add the diced shiitake and Beefless Crumble and break up any big clumps. Cook until lightly browned, about 4 to 6 minutes.
Next, add the red pepper and water chestnuts. Let cook for a minute or two. Then add the sauce and toss to evenly coat the ingredients. Let simmer for a few minutes, until the liquid reduces and thickens. Turn the heat to low and keep warm.
To serve the lettuce wraps, scoop a bit of the mixture into a lettuce cup and top with some of the green onions. Serve with additional sambal, if desired.
