Thai Tempeh Lettuce Wraps – A Delicious Accident

This Thai tempeh lettuce wraps recipe was a totally delicious accident! I had a bunch of leftover chicken and tempeh that had to get used and an overabundance of lettuce, so I figured I would make some Asian peanut chicken and tempeh wraps. This recipe is inspired by Damn Delicious’ recipe which is similar to the PF Chang’s Chicken Wraps – chicken for the meat-eaters in the house and tempeh for those of us that are almost completely plant-based (me). When I decide to cave to the peanut gallery (AKA my children) over their desire for meat, their recipe is made first and theirs is the guinea pig. Luckily, the chicken version was good too but I prefer the Tempeh, both for health reasons as well as preference.

WFPB-ed it!

As usual though, when inspired by someone else’s recipe, I immediately conspire to change it and make it whole food plant-based. I decided to put a Thai spin on it with pineapple and sriracha and create my own hoisin sauce without all of the sugar it comes with if you buy it in the bottle. Voila! A light, spicy, and sweet 100% whole food plant-based (WFPB) clean recipe that is frankly as easy as it is impressive! This recipe is also full of a fermented plant-based protein source – great for both your gut and to build and repair body muscle and tissue.

Asian is My Second Language

Do you love Asian inspired recipes? So do I… I wonder if I have some Asian heritage I am not aware of or lived in Thailand in a past life.
