Description

We moved into a house with a garden that needed tending. Using the herbs we found, we made these freshtastic wraps for our first dinner there. —Chris Bugher, Asheville, North Carolina

My family loved this recipe. I doubled the sauce and marinaded 1 lb of chicken cut in cubes in half of the sauce. I sauted the chicken and added it to the veggies and the remaining sauce. 10 stars.

We loved the combination of Thai flavors with garden vegetables. Our grocery store didnt have Boston or Bibb, so I substituted green leaf lettuce and that worked pretty well. In response to the earlier poster, you want to find something specifically labeled as Thai chili sauce or Thai sweet chili sauce. Thats a lot less spicy than sriracha! My grocery store doesnt have a particularly large Asian section but does carry the sweet chili sauce.

Excellent! Thai chili sauce isnt siracha .. it is sweet

Our family really liked this delightful melange of vegetables tucked into lettuce! My non-salad eating son said, I could eat it again, which for him is good! Alas, I went to 2 stores looking for Bibb/Boston lettuce and neither had it (seriously?), so I had to settle for filling romaine leaves--which worked somewhat but Bibb would have indeed worked so much better.So why a 4 and not a 5? The 1/3 cup of Thai chili sauce (Siriacha) was going to be SO much hotter than several in my family could have tolerated! I couldnt imagine a full third cup of Siriacha in ANYthing, so, I changed the dressing before adding it to the veggies. I halved the amount of chili sauce and substituted 2 or 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil for the chili sauce I had taken out. It was then the perfect flavor combination and heat amount. This is a keeper for us--with revised dressing, of course. But your taste buds may be more tolerant than ours! Thanks, Chris!
