    This Korean-inspired dish is great for people trying to cut down on carbohydrates, because the meat is wrapped in lettuce instead of served on bread. Healthy Asian Recipes

    INGREDIENTS
    Hoisin sauce
    1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
    2 tablespoons honey
    1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 teaspoon Asian chili-garlic sauce
    1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
    Salt and freshly ground pepper
    3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, trimmed of visible fat
    Vegetable oil, for brushing
    1 head green leaf lettuce, separated into leaves
    1 small cucumber, peeled and cut into 2-inch matchsticks
    3 scallions, cut into 2-inch matchsticks
    Lime wedges, for serving

    DIRECTIONS
    1. Light a grill. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup of hoisin sauce with the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, chili-garlic sauce and sesame oil. Season the barbecue sauce with salt and pepper.
    2. Brush the chicken lightly with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken over a hot fire, turning occasionally, until golden and almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Brush with the barbecue sauce and grill, turning and brushing, until golden brown, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to a work surface and let stand for 5 minutes, then cut it into 1/2-inch strips.
    3. Arrange the chicken and lettuce on a platter. Allow guests to make their own wraps by brushing a small amount of hoisin sauce on a lettuce leaf, topping it with cucumber, scallions, chicken and a squeeze of lime and rolling it up.

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual.

I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
