I got the idea to do a lettuce wrap and got this new canned wild yellow fin tuna to try out. My husband isn’t a fan of Asian peanut dressings so I thought tehini might be even better with fish because it’s made from sesame seeds and I had this one Tablespoon of miso left so this is what I came up with. I think the fried enoki mushrooms sort of elevate the dish. I wasn’t too impressed with the canned wild yellowtail…..use whatever fish you feel like.

Ingredients for around 2 servings

6 large butter lettuce leaves

1/2 cup pea sprouts

1 carrot – shredded

2 radishes – sliced thin

2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro just leaves some tender stems

1 Tablespoon fresh parsley leaves

1 Tablespoon mint leaves

2 Tabllespoons scallions – sliced thin

3.5 oz enoki mushrooms

Your favorite medium spicy red pepper to taste (I used piment d’ espelette but Korean pepper, togarashi or cayenne would also work well)

paprika a small amount to taste

2 oz unsalted butter

1/2 cup cornstarch (you will waste some…you can try to use less)

1 Tablespoon reduced sodium miso (I used all natural Marukome Brand from Asiana Market

1 orange – just the fresh squeezed juice

1 Tablespoon tahini – (Sadat brand is usually pretty good)

1 teaspoon reduced sodium tamari (you can substitute low sodium soy but it will have less flavors)

1 Tablespoon sriracha – (I used Shark Brand that is very smooth and sort of sweet)

1 garlic clove – ground to paste or microplane

1/4 teaspoon granulated ginger

5 oz of cooked fish

Directions

In a small mixing bowl combine miso, orange juice, tahini, tamari, sriracha, garlic and ginger and mix well. Set to the side.

Either wipe down the mushrooms with a damp rag or rinse them and shake off the wetness. Roll them around in the cornstarch.

Get a small fry pan on medium to slightly medium/high heat with the butter. As soon as the butter is almost melted start frying up the mushrooms and fry them on both sides. They fry up pretty fast and let them drain on a paper towel lined pan. Sprinkle the mushroom with some red pepper and a little paprika.

Either put the lettuce wraps together and serve or let everyone make their own. Remember to serve with the dressing.

Tasty and light everyone will ENJOY!
