Veggie Lettuce Wraps


Ingredients

Iceberg lettuce

1 large Onion

1 Garlic clove

2 large Carrots

3 Celery stems

1 can Water chesnuts

1 pack plain firm Tofu (you can replace it with chicken or shrimps)

2 bell peppers (any color)

4 tbsp. Teriyaki sauce

4 tbsp. Soya sauce

1 tsp. Chili paste (optional)

1 pack instant Noodles 


Cost of groceries - $15! (serves 2-3 persons)


Cut celery, carrots, water chesnuts, bell pepper, tofu, onions and garlic into small cubes. Fry the onions and garlic in a large pan with olive oil (until golden). Add all the cut up vegetables and tofu into the pan. Add the teryaki sauce, soya sauce and chili paste (optional). Mix it all together. Put it on medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes and then remove from the stove. Crush the instant noodles (it works better if you crush it while it's still in the packet and then pour it into your pan). Mix the raw noodles into the pan. Wash the lettuce and take it apart into individual leaves (try not to rip it because you will use it as your wrap!). To serve, place the cooked vegetables, tofu and noodles into the center of your lettuce leaf. Wrap it up and LETTUCE EAT!
