One Pot P.F. Chang’s Lettuce Wraps Recipe

As a mama of two dairy-allergic babies, I have to be careful with what I feed them. Asian food, though, has very little dairy in it, if any at all, which means no having to figure out good substitutes. Plus, the fact that their daddy is Filipino means it’s important to us for them to be raised with Asian and Filipino food as a “normal” part of their diet. My one pot P.F. Chang’s lettuce wraps recipe is one of the easiest ways for us to get some lean protein, Asian flavor on a weekday evening!

As far as Asian food goes, there are some awesome options, but a lot of them take all day. Soups and stews require hours to really achieve the flavor you want. Other choices mean lots of fat from frying. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some lumpia (Filipino egg rolls) or turon (sort of dessert egg rolls), but they aren’t what I want to be feeding my kids every day.

This one pot P.F. Chang’s lettuce wraps recipe is my go-to for a quick, healthy meal. Less than half an hour and a handful of ingredients (most of which I have in the pantry or fridge all the time) and I have a yummy meal that both boys love. They’re also super pretty which makes them great for entertaining, especially since it means I don’t spend much time at all in the kitchen!
