I am so excited that the Lunar New Year is almost here! Traditionally, the First day of the Lunar New Year is a time to celebrate with a nutritious vegetarian meal to purify and cleanse the body, and honor the Buddhist tradition.
For this occasion I’ll be having lettuce wraps, swaddled with a medley of savory vegan ingredients. Light, tasty and low-carbs, the vegan lettuce wraps are a great way to start the New Year feast with families, friends and guests.
The vegan lettuce wraps we’re making are bursting with flavors of golden sauteed mushrooms, tofu, crunchy jicama and red peppers, wrapped in tender butterhead lettuce leaves. They are drizzled with a mildly spiced hoisin sauce, and garnished with fresh cilantro and crispy fried noodles for good luck and longevity!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Again, thank-you Bee for having me at your amazing site.
