“This recipe packs so much flavor into a beautiful, healthy presentation. I love to serve it as an hors d’oeuvre or as the main dish when I have folks over. It’s always a hit! I usually serve it with a little extra hoisin on the side.” —Mandy Rivers, Lexington, South Carolina

This is delicious, my entire family loves it and asks me to make it again and again.

These are so delicious!!! I try to make them whenever I can. I double the recipe and freeze the leftovers, and they are just as delicious unfrozen as fresh! Most times I don't even use lettuce, just sprinkle some rice noodles on top and it is so good. This is a five star plus recipe!

I have made this recipe several times. It is a keeper - so delicious. I don't use lettuce wraps but I but lettuce on plate and put meat mixture on top - sort of like a taco salad - easier to eat.

This was delicious and reminded my husband of the ones at PF. Changs!

These were so good! Even better the next day. For a little less sweet of a dish, cut back on the hoisen. Definitely making again!

I have tried several lettuce wrap recipes and have been disappointed with the lack of flavor. This has so much flavor! I added frozen peas instead of snow peas and it was great.

My whole family loves this dish! We eat it as the main dish, but it would go great with any kind of Asian dish.

Full of flavor and so easy to make. My grocery store did not have Bibb lettuce so I just used iceberg and it was fine.
