2 Tbsp low-sodium tamari (or coconut aminos)
2 Tbsp rice vinegar

DIRECTIONS:
Cook rice according to manufacture's directions.
Heat a large skillet over medium/low heat and add coconut oil. Once melted, add onion and saute for 3-5 minutes.
Add garlic and saute for a minute, or until fragrant.
Add mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes to release moisture. Add radish, tamari, vinegar & ginger. Simmer until moisture has absorbed, stirring frequently - about 10 minutes.
Add sauce ingredients to a mixing jar and whisk together until combined.
Place lettuce leaves on plates and add about 2 Tbsp of mushroom mixture (or more if leaves are large), and garnish. Serve sauce on the side in individual containers.
NOTE: True wild rice is actually an aquatic grass (not a grain) that's naturally grown & hand picked in northern Minnesota and Canada. Contains lower carbs than regular rice and is non-gmo. Try adding to soups and salads for a nutty & earthy flavor! We love the Lake & River Wild Rice from Moose Lake Wild Rice Company.
