This recipe was inspired by my parents recent dinner date to Big Bowl. Maaaaan, I love Asian food and Big Bowl is up there as one of my top favorite restaurants. Their sauces are not necessarily Paleo friendly, but they focus on using a lot of fresh vegetables and ingredients in their dishes and also offer allergy accommodations. It can be extremely challenging to find Paleo friendly restaurants, so I recommend picking two or three things you cannot do without (obviously if allergies aren’t a main concern). For me, I need to be gluten-free but can tolerate sugars and dairy on a limited basis. So restaurants that offer a gluten-free menu as well as lots of fresh vegetables in their dishes are what I look for and cannot do without. Now with all that being said, I would argue that my Paleo lettuce wraps taste JUST as good as Big Bowl’s (I know this is quite the claim but it’s true). And are also a waaaaay healthier option. If you have 20 minutes and ground chicken or turkey on hand, give this recipe a try and get ready to never need Big Bowl again.
