Ingredients
Gluten-Free Hoisin Sauce
- ¼ cup tamari or gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter crunchy natural variety
- 1 tablespoon white miso gluten-free
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
Filling
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced small
- 1 red bell pepper diced small
- 1 portabella mushroom large cap, stem and gills removed, diced small
- 2 teaspoons minced ginger
- ½ cup hoisin sauce
- 8 oz water chestnuts canned, drained and diced small
- 3 green onions thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup chopped raw walnuts
Wraps + Garnish
- 1 head bibb lettuce butter, or iceberg lettuce, leaves removed, washed, and thoroughly dried
- sushi rice cooked, optional
- 3 carrots cut into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
- ½ cup cilantro leaves fresh
- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
Instructions
Gluten-Free Hoisin Sauce
- Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a food processor fitted with the S-blade or a high-powered blender. Process until all of the ingredients are combined, but the sauce still has visible chunks of peanut in it. Set aside.
Filling
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion, bell pepper, and mushroom to the pan; stir to combine and spread the filling out in an even layer so the veggies sauté instead of steam. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring once or twice and spreading the filling back out evenly each time. Add the minced ginger and hoisin sauce; stir to combine and cook for 1 minute longer. Stir in the water chestnuts, green onions, and raw walnuts to the pan and cook until the green onions begin to wilt, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
Assemble the Wraps
- Layer lettuce leaves with sushi rice (if using), a heaping spoon full of filling and top with carrot ribbons, cilantro, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Notes
- If you are preparing the optional sushi rice for this meal 1 cup of uncooked rice will cook up to approximately 2 ½ cups of cooked rice. Since I cook gluten-free for my family, I used a homemade hoisin sauce; a store-bought sauce should work too, but I haven't tested it myself.
