Wok Star’s Famous Rainbow Lettuce Wrap

December 24, 2020 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

This Rainbow Lettuce Wrap is an “Asian taco”, I serve this as an appetizer in my cooking classes. It’s always a BIG HIT and will WOW your guests. A “rainbow” of colors and beautiful presentation with flavors and textures that explode in every bite.

Rainbow Lettuce Wrap Appetizer

Pairs beautifully with Zonin prosecco, ice cold Tiger Beer, both light and bubbly and of course Fiji Water.

Use a crispy Romaine Leaf.  Slather sweet Koon Chun’s Hoisin Sauce on leaf, fill with ground turkey and a “rainbow” of multi colored bell peppers, crunchy jicama and/or chayote, topped with toasted pumpkin seeds.

I call it a “Party Dish”, cause it’s a PERFECT appetizer for entertaining at home, savor during Game Day or show off at Tailgate. It’s FAST to pull together. I have eaten this as my main course dinner. Make in small batches so it’s fresh and warm.  It’s addictive! You can even make the dishes ahead and just warm up last minute, of course not the lettuce leaves.

You may have had a P.F. Chang’s Lettuce Wrap, so now you’ll be able to make your own version at home, fresh and delicious.

Here’s my Famous Rainbow Lettuce Wrap ‘recipe card’ I developed for Tiger Beer for a sponsored mini launch in North Florida.
In Asia, ice cold beer is always served with spicy food.

Feel free to swap out with any crunchy veggies or nuts you love, that’s my whole philosophy of what I teach anyway.

The beauty of my wok and stove setup is that you can cook anywhere!  Many Wok Stars will take their handy portable kitchen and make this Rainbow Lettuce Wrap to show off in front of their guests, I’ve heard outside by the patio, poolside, on a yacht, during camping trips, the list is endless! I’ve even taken my Wok Star Kit to give presentations during Wellness Week at a luxury Wellness resort, Grand Velas in Los Cabos, Mexico. My presentations were very well received by adults and kids alike. They even asked the Hotel manager if my Rainbow Lettuce Wrap could be incorporated into their restaurant menu, ha, ha.

Enjoy being hero worshipped, ha, ha!

Wok Star Supper CLUB: Hakkasan Yum Cha 2015 (updated)

March 2, 2015 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

Year of the Ram is off to a fabulous start for 2015!  Chinese New Year with 70 lucky people at HAKKASAN, Fontainebleau Miami Beach was such a treat! I organized it as part of my Wok Star Supper Club gatherings, to celebrate Asian culture and cuisine with like minded people. If you’ve never had an authentic Yum Cha Chinese style, you have to experience it.  And the best way to do that is at a chic, modern and beautiful restaurant like HAKKASAN.  You get the royal treatment and you leave all the work to the chefs who painstakingly make all the intricate and magnificent dumplings and miniature sculptures!
WokStar-CNY-Hakkasan-dumplingsYum Cha in Chinese literally means, “drink tea” and is a leisurely way to enjoy an afternoon with family and friends over a 4 course 13 item dim sum menu, and that’s what we did yesterday. If you missed it, you can drool over the dishes below.

It was wonderful to see so many who’ve attended my class join me in this celebration and I hope to make this an annual event.  If you want to experience future Wok Star Supper Club events, subscribe to my free newsletter in right sidebar so you’ll be the first to hear about events and get first option to reserve as well as news about my wok cooking classes, resources, meal ideas, tips, techniques and videos to simplify your life!

Thanks so much to Tasting Table, New Times and Miami Herald for spreading the word!

Make Dad a Wok Star for Father's Day!

June 6, 2014 By Eleanor Hoh Leave a Comment

Want to make Dad a Wok Star?  If you live in Miami, now’s your chance because next Thursday, June 12 from 6:30-9:30pm, even inexperienced dads will have a chance to wok up 3 scrumptious dishes paired with wines from different regions in Italy.  This class will be a very intimate and unique event with only 12 guests.

Casa Vinicola Zonin USA is thrilled to host Wok Star Eleanor Hoh at their swanky penthouse loft to celebrate a special Father’s Day event.  The collaboration between Casa Vinicola Zonin USA and Wok Star Cooking Classes is to demonstrate how well Italian wines transcend into any cuisine.
Little intro chat!
Wines from 3 different regions!
Bok Choy & Oyster Mushroom
Tilapia in Spicy Brown Bean Sauce
Wok Star Kit Bundle for Dad!
Wine List
Mini Zonin Prosecco Giveaways


Picture dad when he realizes Wok Star’s easy no recipe approach keep things simple and makes cooking creative and fun. He’ll explore new flavors and learn Asian cutting techniques, how to mix and match vegetables and proteins for quick one-dish dinners with only four seasonings and very little cleanup. Perfect for busy dads and adaptable to any diet.
The menu includes an all time favorite, Rainbow Lettuce Wrap appetizers, which is paired with Zonin Prosecco and wow guests in a meet and mingle! Next, a delicate Shrimp with Baby Bok Choy and Oyster Mushrooms pairs nicely with Rocca di Montemassi Astraio. Lastly and most popular is the Tilapia in a Spicy Brown Bean Sauce in an unusual pairing with Castello d’Albola Chianti Classico, which complements the fish beautifully.
Best part of this class is the Wok Star Kit Bundle which includes everything dad needs to go home with to become a Wok Star right away! The most rewarding part for Hoh as a cooking teacher is hearing success stories from Wok Stars who love to show off their slicing, dicing and stir fry technique to family and friends! That’s what being a Wok Star is all about.
Here’s a post about how eccentric my Dad was, Remembering Dad on Father’s Day!  So glad he knew about metals because he helped me avoid an expensive mistake with my cast iron wok when I first started out.
Sign dad up for this special Father’s Day event here.
Thanks to Miami.com, Miami Culinary Tours and Simply Q for including me in your Father’s Day Roundup!
