Ingredients

• 500g or 1 pound of minced lean beef (or turkey, lean lamb, lean pork)
• 500g or 1 pound of mushrooms
• 1 onion chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic
• Soy sauce, tamari sauce, or coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons of umami paste or 1
• teaspoons of grated ginger and an extra clove of garlic + more sauce
• A teaspoon of Chinese 5 spices
• Sesame oil
• Furikake (or sesame seeds to garnish)
• Gem lettuce hearts

Directions

1. Sweat the chopped onion on medium to high heat with a tablespoon of sesame oil. After 5 to 7 minutes, add in the sliced mushrooms. Cook until they reduce in size (about 4 minutes).
2. Add the meat and garlic. Once the meat starts browning, add the Chinese 5 spices and the umami paste or ginger and soy/tamari/coconut aminos sauce to taste.
3. Cook until the meat is cooked through.
4. Let it cool down a little bit while you rinse the lettuce and separate the leaves.
5. Serve either in 2 separate plates and people can make their own wraps, or fill each lettuce leave with the meat and sprinkle the furikake/sesame seeds to decorate.
6. If you serve it in two different plates, you can sprinkle the furikake or sesame seeds on the meat. Enjoy!
