Easy Peasy Japanesy Lettuce Wraps

In an attempt to be a bit daring I decided to improvise my own lettuce wrap recipe. Something simple with not a ton of carbs or sugars in it. So many of the packets you find in groceries stores have a lot of sugar in the sauces. It shouldn't be too hard to have wraps that are easy and dont have a lot of extra stuff in them to bring up the carbs. I therefore attempted to limit my ingredients.  
1 pound of ground Pork Sausage
1/2 Yellow Onion Diced
1 Cup Diced Broccoli
1 Tablespoon Fish Sauce
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon Splenda Brown Sugar
1 Head of lettuce of your choice. I used Iceberg

The first thing I did was cook my pork Sausage. After the meat is browned, drain off your grease. 
I then added onions and broccoli to the pork and let those cook for about 3-4 minutes. 
Added the Soy Sauce, Fish Sauce and Brown Sugar. Let that cook in the pan for another 2-3 minutes. 
Taste it, depending on your preference you can always add more sauce to increase the taste. Add to the lettuce of your choice.

My wife and I thought this was pretty tasty. The flavor was good and they were pretty filling. All together it only took me about 15-20 minutes.

My only other thought is that the next time I make these I think I will add some chopped peanuts into the mix so that the wraps had a little bit of a crunch with them. But even as they are they are pretty good. 

If you try them, share your thoughts.

These sound so good! I had some lettuce wraps at The Elephant Bar and I loved them. These sound like they would be very similar. I will definitely try them! thanks!
