Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps







SAUCE:
1/4 c. boiling water
1/4 t. sugar
2 T. rice vinegar
2 T. ketchup
2 T. soy sauce
 1 T. lime juice
1/4 t. sesame oil
1/2 t. fresh grated ginger

STIR FRY:
2 T. oil
1 box chicken-less strips from Trader Joe's, or any other substitute ( you can use 4 chicken breasts if you      
          want meat, or tofu if you like)
1 c. water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1/2 c. mushrooms, chopped
1/3 c. sliced green onions
2 t. minced garlic
3 T. soy sauce
3 T. brown sugar
1 t. rice vinegar
10 iceberg lettuce leaves

Combine sauce ingredients well; set aside.  Dice chicken-less strips, then stir fry in oil until heated through. If you are using uncooked chicken breasts, cut in small pieces and stir fry until they are cooked through.  Add all remaining ingredients (except lettuce) and stir fry until heated through.  Spoon into lettuce cups and drizzle with sauce.  Hot mustard and red chili paste can be added to the sauce according to taste.

**The key is to chop everything into tiny pieces!
