Nothing is easier for my wife and I than whipping some of these hoisin lettuce wraps on a night when we don’t feel like doing too much cooking! Everything can be done in one wok, and all you need after that is a head of lettuce and some crispy fried noodles and you are set! You can always switch out the iceberg lettuce for a darker leafy green like Kale!
