Story

If you stir fry a lot, you may like to try this recipe just to change things up a bit. The recipe is simple enough to throw together, but the finish is what makes it look and taste so special. You can truthfully use any kind of bigger lettuce leaf, but try to stick to the rest of the recipe as closely as possible because the results are fabulously tasty! Be sure also to give the peanuts a nice chop to release the flavor a bit more. Enjoy!
