PF Chang’s is known for their lettuce wraps and to be honest, I didn’t think they were anything special. I didn’t know what the hype was all about but decided to make my own PF Chang’s lettuce wraps at home. These turned out so much better, healthier, and more cost effective!

I love the flavors in this bowl. It’s savory, slightly sweet, and has a hint of spice (more if you add more sriracha). The cashews give it a nice, nutty crunch and I added rice to the bowls because it soaks up all that delicious sauce.
