Cauliflower Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 fresh cauliflower, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups plant-based meat, chopped into small pieces
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cane sugar or honey
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Preparation:

  1. Mix the water with the cornstarch and set aside.

  3. In the same pan, lightly cook the cauliflower pieces in a little water until they are just tender.
