Lettuce Wrap Is A Healthy Snack For Your Kids

Lettuce wrap is a healthy snack your kids will love! Easy to prepare and fun to snack on, they are perfect way for your kids to get the nutrition they need. With lettuce wraps, it doesn't really matter what you choose to put in them. Below is just one healthy option for what to put in a lettuce wrap for a creative and healthy snack.


For the Sauce:
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp rice wine vinegar
For the Filling:
  • 2 bags of Pemmican Beef Jerky
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 8 ounce (227 mL) can sliced water chestnuts, chopped
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
Directions:
  1. In a large skillet over high heat, combine the two oils and heat. Add the chopped onion. Cook over medium heat until the onions are translucent, about three to five minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  3. Add the water chestnuts and sauce and mix thoroughly.
  4. Add the chopped green onions and mix. Continue to cook over medium heat for about one to two minutes or until the green onions start to wilt a little. Add in the Pemmican beef jerky last.
  5. To serve, spoon filling onto a large platter and arrange lettuce leaves either around it or right next to it. The lettuce can be of any type that is able to create a cup for the filling including iceberg, Bibb or butter leaves, even Nappa cabbage.
