Recently I’ve been making more plant base high protein recipes and my Vegan Asian Wraps were my favorite so far! I even had two thumbs up from my husband who is a carnivore. I made my Vegan Asian Wraps numerous times for friends and family during parties as well. It brings a lot of vibrant color to your table and acts as part decoration as well!

I used purple cabbage, but you can also use butter lettuce as your wrap. Just remember to double up on the lettuce because it’s not as sturdy as the cabbage.

How to eat my Vegan Asian Wraps is simple. Fold both ends of the cabbage leaf until it fully closes. Then dip in peanut sauce and enjoy!
