Asian lettuce wraps

This week, I have been cooking a lot of East Asian dishes, and one that I have made several times before are Asian lettuce wraps.  These are inspired by the vegetarian lettuce wraps at PF Changs, which we love!  I use soy crumbles (we like the Lightlife brand because they use non-GMO soy) and tofu bits, which make it very hearty and full of protein!  I used the lettuce head that was in our CSA box as the wrap, and it makes a delicious meal or appetizer!
