If you’re looking for a fresh and healthy twist on the classic momos, Momo Lettuce Wraps are the answer. These delightful wraps combine the comforting flavors of momos with the crispness of lettuce leaves, creating a light and satisfying meal or appetizer. Whether you’re watching your calorie intake or simply craving something refreshing, these wraps are a winner.


Why Choose Momo Lettuce Wraps?

  1. Low-Calorie Option:

  • Lettuce wraps are inherently low in calories. By swapping out traditional momo wrappers for lettuce leaves, you reduce the overall calorie count while still enjoying the delicious filling.

  • If you’re on a health kick or counting macros, these wraps fit the bill.

  1. Texture Contrast:

  • The tender momos meet the crunch of fresh lettuce. It’s a delightful contrast that keeps your taste buds engaged.

  • Plus, the coolness of lettuce balances the warmth of the momos.

  1. Customizable:

  • Lettuce wraps are like a blank canvas. You can customize them with your favorite momo fillings and toppings.

  • Get creative with your choice of veggies, sauces, and garnishes.


Ingredients:

  • Head of Butter Lettuce: Large, sturdy leaves perfect for holding the filling.

  • Large Carrots: Shredded using a peeler.

  • Ramen Noodles: Cooked and drained (discard the seasoning).

  • Chicken Breasts: Boiled and shredded.

  • Mushrooms: Chopped and sautéed (optional).

  • Peanuts: Chopped for crunch.

  • Newman’s Sesame Ginger Dressing: Tangy and flavorful.

  • Vinegar: Adds brightness.

  • Cucumbers: Peeled and sliced.

  • Fresh Cilantro: Chopped.

  • Rice Wine Vinegar, Water, Sugar, Kosher Salt: For marinating the cucumbers.

  • Homemade Peanut Sauce: Creamy and savory.

  1. Assemble the Wraps:

  1. Drizzle with Peanut Sauce:

  • Whip up a simple homemade peanut sauce using peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and a dash of Sriracha.

  • Drizzle it over the wraps.

  1. Serve and Enjoy:

  • Roll them up and take a satisfying bite.


Variations:

  • Add More Toppings:
