Beef Bulgogi Lettuce Wraps
with Rice & Spicy Pickles
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.
Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Instructions
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 heat to a low simmer. Cook, covered, until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
Wash and dry produce. Trim and thinly slice cucumbers. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves.
In a medium bowl, combine cucumbers, 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.
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.)
Stir bulgogi sauce and sesame seeds into pan with beef mixture until evenly coated.
Fluff rice with a fork. Divide lettuce between plates. Fill each leaf with rice, beef bulgogi, and as many spicy pickles (draining first) as you like. Serve.
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
