Ramen in Romaine It's a Wrap!

Submitted by Rita1652

"This is Bold, Crisp, Crunchy, Creamy, Healthy, FUN, Finger FOOD!!!! Just 3 minutes of cooking and no silverware to clean! Just finger licking good. A romaine leaf topped with a creamy sauce delish refreshing ingredients. This is made vegetarian but grilled sliced steak, shrimp and or chicken would be a nice addition. This can be enjoyed as a main meal or appetizers."

The sauce is wonderful - and I may even add a tad more sambal oelek next time. It's fun to put together your own wrap full of fresh and colorful ingredients. I omitted the celery. Will make again!

This was fun and tasty. Would be a nice light addition to a lunch or apps buffet.

Loved the sauce, enjoyed all the different ingredients! I used sprouted lentils in place of the bean sprouts, but otherwise followed directions. This made a great lunch! Thanks!
