What You Need
Instructions
Cook rice according to package directions.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and brown, breaking up beef with a spoon, for about 7 min or until no longer pink; drain off any fat. Stir in milk and teriyaki sauce; bring to a simmer, stirring. Stir in carrots, garlic and ginger.
Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, for about 10 min or until sauce is thickened. Stir in green onions and lemon juice. Place lettuce leaves on serving plates, overlapping slightly, and spoon rice in the centre; top with beef mixture.
Tips
The beef mixture reheats well. Let it cool in a shallow container, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat until bubbling before serving.
For the Adventurous: Add 2 cups (500 mL) shredded baby bok choy or tat soi for last 5 min of simmering. Replace lemon juice with sherry or sake.

We make this recipe all the time after seeing it in the milk calendar. Rather than spoon large portions over the lettuce, we take individual lettuce leaves and use them as wraps, spooning a little rice and a little beef and wrapping the lettuce around it.
It can be a little messy to eat, but no messier than tacos.
