Thank God, lettuce is not only for salads :) When life tends to be colder and the days shorter, I crave steamy hot food. This is a gratifying way to prepare lettuce that will warm your insides. This dish will take you about 10-15 minutes from start to finish and is sure to satisfy.
Ingredients:
1 head of romaine or iceberg lettuce
1 very large shiitake mushroom (or 4-6 smaller)
1 T peanut oil
Sauce:
1/2 T agave syrup
1/2 T brown rice vinegar
Wash and dry the mushroom and lettuce.
Coarsely chop the lettuce and set aside.
Add peanut oil to the wok and heat on medium high. Meanwhile, chop the mushroom into 1 inch pieces and add to the wok once it's hot. Stir constantly. Add lettuce and keep stirring. After 1 minute, turn the heat to medium and add the sauce to the wok. Keep stirring until the lettuce slightly softens and take off heat.
Ready to serve!
