    Low Sodium Asian Style Lettuce Wraps with Chicken means fresh veggies from the garden onto your plate! We are talking about fresh lettuce, chopped carrots, red bell pepper, scallions with some chicken protein in it. Let me introduce to you easy to make and low on sodium lettuce wraps made with ground chicken!

    Asian Style Lettuce Wraps with Chicken on a plate

    Asian Style Lettuce Wraps a fast and attractive dish that can be made fresh or ahead for the work week without any loss in taste or visual appeal. I used leftovers of this dish multiple times and as long as the lettuce is bright and fresh – no one would ever guess that you are serving last night’s dinner.

    The entire dish is cooked in the large skillet before being spooned onto lettuce leaves.

    Are Asian Style Lettuce Wraps Gluten Free?

    I used Tamari gluten free soy sauce which is not only free of wheat, but is specifically a Japanese form of soy sauce, traditionally made as a byproduct of miso paste. Tamari has a darker color and richer flavor than the common Chinese soy sauce you may be more familiar with. It also tastes more balanced and less salty. I did not use salt at all in this low sodium Asian style lettuce wraps with chicken recipe, because Tamari in itself is salty enough.

    Substitutions and Variations

    I opted to include extra garlic in place of fish oil or additional soy sauce in order to keep the dish lower on sodium but still full of flavor. The recipe includes peanuts, but these can be omitted if there are any dietary restrictions – the main flavor of the dish is in the combination of the rich flavor of Tamari soy sauce, ginger powder, brown sugar and garlic.

    You can pretty much toss everything in one pan to make it ready (see the sequence of ingredients in the instructions).

      I made this last night and it was amazing. No salt needed at all. I am salt-sensitive and my blood pressure had been higher than normal for a few weeks and I was retaining a lot of fluid, do I really had to pull back from foods high in sodium and start preparing my own meals more than usual. I came across this recipe and was so excited because I love Asian lettuce wraps! I think the ginger powder and fresh lemon juice help to lower my blood pressure. Thank you Chef Olga for the recipe. I am going to definitely make this one of our bi-weekly meals!!
