My Favorite Vegetarian Lettuce Wrap Lunch/Brunch πŸ˜‹β€οΈπŸŒΊ

I felt hungry and decided to have my lunch early today. 😁 I made my simplest protein butter lettuce wrap with my mixed vegetables. πŸ˜‹

Ingredients are: diced water chestnuts, mushrooms, ginger (great kick for taste in this combo), cilantro, carrots, bell peppers, red and green onions. All sautΓ©ed in olive oil, garlic sauce, wine vinegar, one teaspoon of mushroom soy sauce and peppers.

Dessert: Oatmeal cookie with Jasmine tea.

I love having this combination of veggies with diced vegetable ham. It is light and fulfilling at the same time. ❀️

Thank you Kainan. πŸ˜ŠπŸ™ Whatttt I’m still full cuz it’s packed with good protein. I probably just gonna have some avocado and yogurt later. πŸ˜‚ You eat with your eyes! πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£.

I'd finish that in like less than 10 min and will feel hungry again an hour later

GreatMindfulness in reply to Kainan

Hmmm your metabolism should be good then but I doubt you will feel hungry after this in an hour, no way. πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…

yeah maybe for you it's fine but me I need more calories and it doesn't seem like it has all that much

GreatMindfulness profile image
GreatMindfulness in reply to Kainan

You just need good proteins to curve that hunger. Well I’ve always been in healthy weight of 110lbs and been eating like this so it works for me. What’s your dinner? πŸ˜‹

Kainan in reply to GreatMindfulness

Kainan in reply to Kainan

did you julienne those carrots yourself?

GreatMindfulness profile image
GreatMindfulness in reply to Kainan

I bet you enjoyed your dinner. I’m not Caesar salad fan. πŸ˜‚ No, those are already chopped, organic also. I got it from Trader Joe’s

Kainan profile image
Kainan in reply to GreatMindfulness

ahh that's a time saver. Those are a hassle to do

GreatMindfulness profile image
GreatMindfulness in reply to Kainan

That’s right. The rest I like dicing them, kinda therapeutic for me. πŸ˜‚

Kainan profile image
Kainan in reply to GreatMindfulness

Yeah I totally get that. It's a great feeling chopping them up and seeing them all uniform

GreatMindfulness profile image
GreatMindfulness in reply to Kainan

Yes put on your best track of music and start dicing, that’s joy right there! 😁

I go for the country but like not sad soul crushing country music, no the happy kind about drinking and finding true love and stuff, even though I never drink and I haven't got a clue about that second one 🀣🀣🀣

No comment on the country music. You enjoy yourself πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ‘

Hey Koko,what happens when you play country music backwards?....

You get your truck your partner and your dog back...πŸ™ƒ

What's protein butter? πŸ˜•

PandQs profile image
PandQs in reply to Subtle_badger

Eats shoots and leaves, it's the way you've read it. Vegetarian protein, using butterhead lettuce for the wrap.

Subtle_badger profile image
Subtle_badger in reply to PandQs

I'm more confused. Where's the protein?

Or is there TVP or something similar?

PandQs profile image
PandQs in reply to Subtle_badger

There is mention of vegetarian "ham" which may be that.

GreatMindfulness profile image
GreatMindfulness in reply to Subtle_badger

Subtle_badger, the post is self-explanatory if you would take time and read through.

Subtle_badger profile image
Subtle_badger in reply to GreatMindfulness

I wasn't trolling, I really didn't understand it. And I not only took the time to to read it through, I entered everything on the ingredient list into cronometer to see if there was protein hidden in the veggies. I didn't go back to the last sentence because I assumed the ingredient list was a list of all the ingredients 😳

Now Subtle_badger, would you please so kind and enlighten me what is β€œprotein butter”? I don’t think I included butter in my ingredients list either. πŸ€”

I'm glad you typed "definitely" this time Kitten-Whiskers - if you watched Line of Duty recently on TV you'll know that "definately" as in your previous comment, was the clue to finding the mysterious villain of the series "H" 🀣

Oh yes, the mysterious "H"

I loved the line of duty 😁

Hi Ex-Pat, that is exactly the book I was referring to πŸ˜€ I think the phrase is now very well known as a reference to how things can be read to have different meanings, depending on the punctuation.
