Friday Foods: P.F. Chang's Lettuce Wraps

Ok so Friday Foods is not happening on Friday again and for the very same reason as last week. I have another day-long interview. Don't let the man keep ya down! I should return to our schedule as usual next week. Enough about me, let us talk about the food. This is a very exciting recipe. Who doesn't love the lettuce wraps from P.F. Chang's? I know I do! Kate Allen submitted this copy cat recipe so you can make your own lettuce wraps at home!
