Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Back in the early days of this blog, I had shared a vegan, tofu version of this recipe that we’d actually preferred to the original chicken recipe P. F. Chang’s serves. Then I had to give up soy, and tried making it with beans or more mushrooms instead. Not much success there. Now that I’m on the autoimmune protocol (and doing much better than I was as a vegan), I’ve brought back the original with a reformulated, less-watery sauce. Those of you that don’t eat meat can still sub tofu or mushrooms, of course. Enjoy!
Keep Your Health on Track
Whether you’re starting the autoimmune protocol, a new medication, an exercise routine or trying to get to the bottom of your headaches or indigestion, cataloging your activities and symptoms is a great way to gauge your progress. The Ultimate Health Journal can help you stay on track with diet, fitness, and other lifestyle changes you have begun or been prescribed, notice patterns in your health and lifestyle so you can enact positive changes, and provide a valuable tool for you, your family, and your healthcare team. I would never have noticed that cinnamon makes me sneeze or dairy gives me hiccups without keeping a written record during my elimination diet, which helped me see the patterns that solved my problems!
