Teriyaki Lettuce Wraps

These Teriyaki plant-based lettuce wraps offer a delicious combination of flavours that not only satisfy the taste buds but also provide numerous health benefits. They are high in protein due to the soy curls. Feel free to swap out the soy curls for any protein. The star of the show is the teriyaki sauce, it’s a perfect blend of sweet and savoury notes and also goes great with rice.

After the soy curls are rehydrated and drained, I toss them in corn or tapioca starch and add them to the frying pan with some olive oil to add a little flavour to them. I then take them out and let them sit while I continue with the next step.

The use of soy curls as the primary protein source adds a meaty texture to the wraps, making them a protein-packed option. Soy curls are derived from whole soybeans, providing a rich source of plant-based protein, essential amino acids, and fiber.

Ginger adds a zesty and slightly spicy element to the flavour profile. Beyond its aromatic qualities, ginger is known for its potential health benefits. It possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may contribute to improved digestion, reduced muscle soreness, and enhanced immune function.

These are so simple and quick to put together and make an excellent option for a weeknight meal.
