Receta Asian Chicken Wraps
It’s been a busy week here with not much time for cooking. When we have a crazy day, we often go to Doc Chey’s Noodle House, our favorite casual restaurant, for a quick dinner. Doc Chey’s, an Asian-fusion restaurant, offers a variety of healthy dining choices, including soups, dumplings, salad, stir-frys, and noodle dishes.
I’m still doing the low carb thing in a continued effort to drop those uber stubborn holiday pounds. I know, I know…I’ve been talking about this for months now. I used to be able to skip lunch and lose five pounds, but obviously times have changed. Anyway, I digress. My favorite low carb meal at Doc Chey’s is their Asian Chicken Wraps.
If I find something that I love at a restaurant, I frequently try to make my own version at home. This post features my version of Doc Chey’s Asian Chicken Wraps. You can mix and match the ingredients in these wraps with whatever you have on hand. Most any vegetable that you like can work. Pork, beef, and shrimp would also be delicious in these wraps.
Several different greens make excellent wraps for this dish. Romaine lettuce, green leaf lettuce, butter lettuce, and napa cabbage all work equally well. When I was planning this post, I bought savoy cabbage to use in the recipe. However, I found it a little tough and chewy for these wraps. It made great photographs, but I wouldn’t recommend using it for this dish. Stick with a more tender leafy vegetable.
I’ve used a variety of Asian products for this recipe, which I always keep in my pantry. Fish sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and Sriracha sauce are all great ingredients to keep on hand if you do any Asian cooking. They all work well in a variety of stir-frys and other Asian dishes. You can find these ingredients at many mainstream supermarkets in the international foods section.
These healthy wraps are quick, easy, low carb, and delicious. Give them a try and you’ll be hooked like me!
