Serves: 4
Ingredients
- ½ lb lean ground beef - 85% lean
- 2 green onions - chopped
- 1 celery stalk - diced
- ½ cup red bell pepper - chopped – any color bell pepper works
- ½ cup carrot - shredded
- ⅓ cup thick teriyaki sauce - store-bought – use your favorite brand; thicker sauces coat the noodles and beef best.
- Pinch red pepper flakes - optional
- 1 3.5 oz package instant ramen noodles - uncooked – discard the seasoning packet; crumble the noodles before adding for a crunchy texture.
- Iceberg lettuce leaves - washed and dried – choose large, sturdy leaves to hold the filling; Boston or butter lettuce also works well.
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ½ lb lean ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add 2 chopped green onions, 1 diced celery stalk, ½ cup chopped red bell pepper, ½ cup shredded carrot, and ⅓ cup teriyaki sauce. Sprinkle in a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little spice. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring often, until the veggies are softened.
- Crumble the uncooked ramen noodles directly into the skillet. Toss and stir everything together so the noodles absorb the sauce and slightly soften from the heat.
- Scoop 1–2 tablespoons of the filling into each iceberg lettuce leaf. Fold or roll the lettuce like a taco or wrap and dig in!

Notes
- Iceberg gives that crisp crunch, while Boston or butter lettuce makes softer, more flexible wraps.
- Tear large lettuce leaves in half to make wrapping and eating less messy - perfect for kids, too.
- Add a drizzle of sriracha mayo, sprinkle of sesame seeds, or a dash of toasted sesame oil before serving.
- Stir in leftover rice or quinoa for extra texture and volume.
- Swap ground beef for crumbled tofu, chopped mushrooms, or cooked lentils - all work great with teriyaki sauce.
