Easy, easy, easy and tasty!!!

Made these last night and they were fantastic! Prepared, this recipe fed 3 people easily, with plenty of leftovers.

Buying all the ingredients for the 1st time can be somewhat expensive, but if you already have them in your pantry, then it's a pretty inexpensive dish to make.

I followed the recipe exactly, with the exception of adding and extra tbsp. of hoison sauce, sriracha, and chili garlic sauce. Also added a dash of sea salt, but I could have achieved a little more saltiness with a tad more soy sauce. Also, I dashed some seasoned rice vinegar on the actual lettuce wraps once they were all put together. I used fresh cilantro and chives for my herb topping. Was quite spicy, but I'm a spicy kind of girl! Loved this recipe, will make it again!

Pros: Easy, tasty, healthy

Not good at all

This recipe was easy to make but tasted bland...the 5 spice was too strong and we only used 1/2 of the amount called for in the recipe.

You used half of the spice

You used half of the spice and it tasted bland? This is the recipe's fault?

This turned out great! It was spicy and delicious. Also, it was very easy to make! I forgot the broth, but it still turned out fine. Next time I'll probably add some colorful vegetables, just to give it more color.

I followed this recipe and it tasted a bit meh. I added some sriracha, soy sauce and more broth then allowed the liquid to reduce and it dazzled my mouth. I also added some home grown basil to make it complete. I used a garnish of rainbow salad instead of the carrot and it was great. This recipe will be a staple in my weekly menus.
