Vegan Lettuce Wraps

Savory meat crumble wrapped in cool crisp lettuce. Vegan Lettuce Wrap is a dish so satisfying, fresh and healthy! You can enjoy these wraps either as a hearty appetizer, or a light main dish.

You could even make a big match of the meat crumble and store it. The sweet and savory mixture is delicious not just with lettuce, but with rice or noodles as well.

A detailed recipe with measurements is in the recipe card below.

Ingredient Notes

Lettuce – I love crispy crunchy wraps, so I usually use romaine or iceberg lettuce.

Vegan minced meat – my favorite vegan mince for this recipe is OmniPork Mince (available on Amazon, or Alishan). You could also use rehydrated TVP (soy meat crumble).

Hoisin sauce – this is a sticky sauce that is both savory and sweet. In Japan, 甜麺醤（テンメンジャン）is a similar sauce that is readily available at most supermarkets. You could also make your own sauce by mixing miso paste, sugar and sesame oil. For this recipe, use 1 tbsp miso, 1/2 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp sesame oil.

Rice vinegar (米酢) – it is a type of vinegar made from fermented rice. Rice vinegar has a milder, slightly sweeter taste than regular vinegar. If you don’t have rice vinegar, substitute it with white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.

Bamboo shoot – I love using bamboo shoots for their crunchy texture. For convenience, I usually buy parboiled bamboo shoots, either canned or vacuum-sealed. If you don’t have bamboo shoots, you could use asparagus for a similar texture.

Mushroom – I use shiitake mushrooms, but any type of mushrooms will work.

Glass noodles – for added crunch, I deep-fry glass noodles and add them to the wrap. For a similar effect, you could also fry rice noodles.

How to Make Vegan Lettuce Wraps

A detailed recipe is in the recipe card at the bottom of this post, but let me give you a quick overview of the process.

Step 1: Fry the glass noodles

Add some oil to a small frying pan, and heat on medium until hot. Add a handful of glass noodles and deep fry them for 5 to 10 seconds.

Step 2: Sauté the meat mixture

Heat sesame oil in a pan, and cook the garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add the rest of the ingredients for the meat mixture and cook for 5 minutes.

Step 3: Assemble

Spoon the meat mixture onto romaine lettuce leaves, and top it with some sesame seeds, green onions and chili flakes.

How to Store

The meat mixture for the lettuce wrap stores well, up to 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer.

You could double, even triple this recipe, and use the meat mixture for other dishes with rice, noodles, or even as a taco filling!
