Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use instead of water chestnuts?
Diced jicama or celery give a similar crunch. For a different texture, diced mushrooms work well but won't have the same snap.
What meat alternatives work in lettuce wraps?
Ground chicken or turkey are excellent leaner options. For vegetarian, use crumbled extra-firm tofu or finely chopped mushrooms.
