Asian Tuna Lettuce Wraps

 

 

Black rice cooked- 1 cup rice to 1-1/4 cups water bring to boil. Cover and simmer 40min. I buy this in bulk at Sprouts or you can find it in bags at the grocery store.

 

1 head of butter lettuce

 

2 cans tuna- no salt, no oil added. I buy the Trader Joe's brand.

 

2 tablespoons sriracha sauce

 

1 tablespoon sesame oil

 

1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

 

2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

 

Nori seasoning for topping.

 

Trader Joe's also has a great seaweed topping in a small bag, if you can't find nori seasoning. It adds a lot of flavor to this dish. I buy the nori at Ralph's grocery store in the Asian food isle.

 

Preparation:

 

Mix the Tuna, sriracha, oil, vinegar and soy sauce in a bowl with a fork. If you like a little extra spice add more sriracha. If the tuna seems a bit dry for your taste add a little more sesame oil.

 

Place a few butter lettuce leaves on a plate. Add a few spoonfuls of tuna and then rice. Top with Nori seasoning and sriracha and enjoy!

 

Perfect for a hot summer day!

 

Special note:

I decided to make the font purple today in honor of a sweet little girl we knew named Layla who lost her battle to neuroblastoma. Today would have been her 10th birthday.
