  • Serving

    3/4

Ingredients:

  • Uptown fresh 1 head Butter lettuce
  • 3/4 cup basmati rice
  • 1 can (14 ounces) lite coconut milk
  • Fine sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
  • 2 green onions, separated and very thinly sliced
  • 3 cups diced sweet potato 
  • 2 cups mushrooms 
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce (or use chili paste for more heat!)
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or lime juice 
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely minced ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped, roasted, and salted cashews, 1-2 small cucumbers (cut in half moons)
  • Optional: drizzle of toasted sesame oil or fresh lime juice

 

Direction:

  • Combine rice, coconut milk, and 1/4 teaspoon salt In a small pot. Stir. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to low, cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until coconut milk is absorbed. 
  • Remove the pot from the heat (keeping it covered) and let it stand undisturbed for 10 minutes. After that, fluff it with a fork and stir in 1 finely sliced green onion. Set aside and keep warm.
  • While rice cooks, peel the sweet potato and then cut into 1/2 inch rounds. Cut the rounds in 1/2-inch pieces. Quarter the mushrooms.
  • Whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil in a small bowl. 
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (don't skip this step; the mixture gets sticky!). Place chopped sweet potatoes and mushrooms on the baking pan and then pour the mixture over.
  • Stir to mix the ingredients, and space out the veggies in a single layer. Bake for 10 minutes, flip the veggies with a spatula, and then bake for another 10-15 minutes or until veggies are tender. Remove from the oven and season to taste with salt.
  • While veggies are roasting, add 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or lime juice, 3 tablespoons canola oil, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon finely minced ginger, and remaining thinly sliced green onion. Season to taste with salt. If desired add in crushed red pepper flakes. Stir dressing until combined.
  • Wash and thoroughly (but gently) dry the lettuce. Double up 2 pieces of lettuce or use single pieces of lettuce, depending on how thick your lettuce is. 
  • Fill the lettuce cups with a generous spoonful of the rice. Add the veggies on top and then drizzle the dressing on generously. 
  • If desired, garnish with crushed cashews and a thinly sliced cucumber. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. If desired, add a tiny drizzle of sesame oil or lime juice over the wraps.
  • Serve extra rice on the side with any leftover dressing.
  • Your healthy wrap is ready.
