lazy woman's dinner

In steps the lazy woman's dinner.

This was actually our planned meal for last night and not thrown together because I was lazy--even though I am...

But for your lazy nights when you don't want to cook, this is a divine option!  Most of you who have had this probably recognize it as fresh spring roll ingredients sans noodles and wrappers.  Right you are!  We altered it a little and made them lettuce wraps--less work that way.  We also added Chinese pork (char siu) that Brian was grilling at the time this photo was taken.  It's also a great meal when you're trying to get rid of ingredients used from making pho the week before.

Here are the ingredients, even though you can see it from the pic!

Lazy Woman's Dinner--

• romaine lettuce
• bean sprouts
• cucumber
• cilantro
• green onions
• Thai basil
• shrimp
• pork (if desired)

dipping sauce:

• hoisin sauce
• pressed (fresh) garlic
• peanut butter (we use almond butter)
• water to dilute

Throw it altogether inside the lettuce, the best you can--and DEVOUR!
