Sorry it has taken me so long to post this, life keeps getting in the way! I made these not too long ago and they were Amazing!!! They are very similar to California Pizza Kitchen/P.F. Changs Lettuce wraps!! They were THAT good!! When i worked at CPK i got lettuce wraps all the time but man are they expensive SO this is a great way to kick that lettuce wrap craving of yours and also not break the bank doing it! Hope you Enjoy!

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 TBSP fresh Ginger, grated
- 1 TBSP brown sugar
- 1 TBSP sesame oil
- 1/2 TBSP Asian Chile Oil

2. Cover; Cook on LOW 8 hours (or HIGH for 4 hours)
3. Thirty minutes before time to serve add Bean Sprouts. MIX.

TIP: To add even more flavor drizzle hoisin sauce on top of your meat mixture inside your lettuce wrap
