Ingredients

Ham

  • 2 cups ham diced
  • ¼ cup hot chile sauce
  • 3 garlic crushed

Lettuce & Toppings

  • 1 head Boston Lettuce
  • ½ cup carrots shredded
  • 1 cucumber sliced julienne
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup peanuts chopped

Peanut Sauce

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar

Instructions

Ham

  • Cut the ham in bite size and place in a bowl.
  • Add the chile sauce and crushed garlic, mix.
  • Add a little oil to a pan on medium heat. Spoon the ham in the pan and saute while mixing for about 7 minutes. Once it’s a little crispy, spoon on to a plate.

Lettuce & Toppings

  • Wash the lettuce and let it dry onto a towel.
  • Slice the vegetables and place on a plate
  • Chop the peanuts and place in a small bowl.

Peanut Sauce

  • Add oil, peanut butter, rice vinegar, garlic cloves and soy sauce into a blender until it’s creamy and well mixed.
  • Taste to see if salt is needed or a little water if too thick depending on what kind of peanut butter is purchased.

Assemble the Lettuce Wrap

  • Take a lettuce leaf, place a spoon of ham mixture.
  • Add some of the vegetables.
  • Add the peanut sauce and sprinkle peanuts and sesame seeds, repeat with each lettuce leaf.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

I usually bake a ham and use it for soup, quiche and use the leftovers for this recipe. Or I buy a small ham and cut that into cubes to use for different recipes.
