Here is how to make these Forking EPIC Asian Cabbage Wraps…

Let the steak rest on a cutting board to come to room temp before cooking. This is an extra step but will ensure that your steak is tender and juicy.

Rub sesame oil, oyster sauce, and seasonings into each side of your steak and let rest while you prepare the Sesame Noodles.

Rinse shirataki noodles with hot water in a colander for a minute. *If using vermicelli- add noodles to boiling water. Remove from heat & stir to separate. Rest for 4 minutes in hot water before draining.

Mix noodles, sesame oil, seasonings, green onions, and sesame seeds in a small bowl. Sit aside until ready to serve

Are you are thinking “Furikaket and shirataki whaaaaat🤔🤯?!?!” Let’s talk about these interesting ingredients…

Have you tried furikake seasoning mix yet? A friend of mine told me about it last year and it is my secret weapon to many Asian dishes. Add this to any of your Asian dishes to take it to the next level of EPICness!

Here is the Wikipedia definition:

Furikake (振り掛け / ふりかけ) is a dry Japanese seasoning^[1] meant to be sprinkled on top of cooked rice, vegetables, and fish. It typically consists of a mixture of dried fish, sesame seeds, chopped seaweed, sugar, & salt. 

This seasoning is a cabinet staple that I always make sure to have on hand. Get your own Fukaki on Amazon! 

And what about these shirataki noodles? 

I recently joined the Thrive Market world and discovered these bad boys. I have to admit, I was skeptical. I mean, aren’t most “healthy versions” of old favorites a disappointment? Turns outs, Shirataki noodles have been a staple in Japanese cuisine for over 2000 years.  I had to do a bit of research to learn about them and here is a clip from Wikipedia’s site:

Shirataki (白滝, often written with the hiragana しらたき) are thin, translucent, gelatinous traditional Japanese noodles made from the konjac yam (devil’s tongue yam or elephant yam).^[1] The word “shirataki” means “white waterfall”, describing the appearance of these noodles. Largely composed of water and glucomannan, a water-soluble dietary fiber, they are very low in digestible carbohydrates and calories, and have little flavor of their own.

Now let’s make this Cucumber Kimchi… 

It sounds complicated but it’s super simple to make and loaded with flavor! Wikipedia says this about kimchi:

Kimchi, a staple in Korean cuisine, is a traditional side dish made from salted and fermented vegetables, most commonly Napa cabbage and Korean radishes, with a variety of seasonings including chili powder, scallions, garlic, ginger, and jeotgal.

Cut cucumbers in halfmoon 1/8 thin slices. Toss with salt in a small bowl and allow to brine for 5 minutes. Rinse salt from cucumbers and shake dry. 

In a serving bowl, mix cucumbers with remaining ingredients. Sit aside until ready to serve

I used so many interesting spices in this recipe! Here is the link to the best Chile flakes I’ve ever found. Mother in Law’s Gochugaru Chile Flakes 

Next, make your mango chili sauce. Add all ingredients to vitamix or food processor and process until smooth. And finally, chop your peanuts & fresh her and thinly slice mangos. All we need now is that steak that is infused with all the flavors of the East!

You can make the steak however you usually cook steak. BUT if your traditional way to prepare steak is on the grill, I challenge you to give your stove top a spin. Trust me, THIS is the absolute best way I’ve found to make succulent steak every time. Check out my Forking Epic Steak! 

I like to serve this on a big tray with all of the dinner ingredients available for guests to build their wrap as they like. I really made dinner EPIC by pairing these wraps with my Shrimp Fried Rice & Rainbow Spring Rolls.

You could layer all the ingredients up into each lettuce leaf and serve OR you could let your guests build their own wrap using all of their favorite toppings.
