Beef Bulgogi Lettuce Wraps

with Cauliflower Rice & Spicy Pickles

5 min
Difficulty: 1/3

The star of this fresh spin on Korean tacos is juicy ground beef sizzled to savory-sweet perfection in bulgogi sauce (one of our favorite ways to pack in that umami-rich sesame-soy flavor we love). You’ll sprinkle with crackly, nutty sesame seeds and serve it in crisp lettuce cups along with fluffy rice and tangy-spicy pickled cucumbers that add a hit of refreshing heat.

Preparation
1
COOK RICE

  • In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower rice (no need to drain), a big pinch of salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and any excess liquid has absorbed, 6-8 minutes. Turn off heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. (Save white rice for another use.)

2
PREP

  • Meanwhile, wash and dry produce.

  • Trim and thinly slice cucumber. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves.

3
MAKE SPICY PICKLES

  • In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, scallion greens, vinegar, ¼ tsp sugar, ¼ tsp salt, and as much Sriracha as you like (½ tsp sugar and ½ tsp salt for 4 servings).

  • Set aside, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.

4
START BEEF BULGOGI

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add beef* and scallion whites; season with pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

  • Remove pan from heat. (Carefully drain any excess grease from pan.)

5
FINISH BEEF BULGOGI

  • Stir bulgogi sauce and sesame seeds into pan with beef mixture until evenly coated.

6
FINISH & SERVE

  • Fluff rice with a fork.

  • Divide lettuce leaves between plates. Fill with rice, beef bulgogi, and as many spicy pickles (draining first) as you like. Serve.
