Korean- Style Wraps with Chili Sauce

One of our go-to easy, delicious & fun meals.

Korean- Style Wraps with Chili Sauce

Protein to marinate:

1-1 1/2 lbs. Chicken, Pork, Beef, even firm Tofu if you want!

The Marinade: This can be a quick 5 mins. to a few hours. The longer it sets, the stronger the infusion: I usually let it marinate 10-15 mins. The meat also absorbs less salt in a shorter time. 

1/4 c. Soy Sauce

2 tsp. Toasted Sesame Oil

1/4- 1/2 c. chopped Green Onions

1 Tbsp. minced Fresh Ginger. Dried works just as well in a hurry. 

1 Tbsp. minced Garlic. Dried Garlic powder works fine too. 

Chili Sauce: Too spicy? Add a little more honey to turn the heat down.

2 Tbsp. Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce

4 tsp. Honey

2 tsp. Sesame Oil

The Goods: 1 1/2 - 3 c. Cooked Jasmine Rice. Our fam uses much less meat & way more rice. 

Lettuce with nice leaves to wrap the goods in. Boston. Bibb. Butter Lettuce. Romaine Hearts. 

Toasted Sesame Seeds

For the animal protein, it is far easier to slice or shave any chunk of meat when slightly frozen. Cut your choice into thin pieces or shavings. Mix up the marinade & drop your meat into it. Cover with plastic wrap or a plate & pop into the fridge for flavor infusion. 

Once ready to cook, grab a large pan, add a bit of olive oil or high heat oil and dial the heat to med- high. Depending on the amount of meat you have ready, you may have to cook in batches. Drop in enough meat to cover the bottom of the pan without crowding & piling. Cook until those pieces are nice and caramelized. You'll want some browned bits on them for extra tastiness. Add in all of the marinade and cook down with the meat, coating them into a slight stickiness. Throw in some toasted sesame seeds for added flavor, texture & visual appeal. This smells amazing right now!  

This meal is a lot of fun to assemble at the table. Create a platter of lettuce leaves, grab that cooked jasmine rice and have the sauce ready. Fill your lettuce leaf with rice, top off with a piece of meat and drizzle that sweet & spicy sauce all over it. You won't regret making these and possibly they'll turn into a fave weekly dinner! 

This meal tastes awesome cold or warm and makes for great leftovers. 

Enjoy =D

Easy clean-up for leftovers. Mix up your sauce in a small jar.
