“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

These are super easy and so yummy! I make these all the time for lunch. I find myself craving them all the time. I use Romaine lettuce and it works just as well.

Crazy messy, but worth every delicious bite. I omitted the water chestnuts and added some cucumber, cilantro and extra carrot. I also subbed soy sauce + brown sugar for the teriyaki sauce. This comes together in a snap and is surprisingly filling. We took leftovers to work the next and stuffed them, lettuce and all, in a whole wheat wrap. YUM.

I've made lettuce wraps before. I cannot believe how easy and delish this recipe is.

I made this dish last evening for Hubby and myself. I thought about the leftovers all night and could barely resist heading to the kitchen in the middle of the night. I didn't change a thing about the recipe and it was just PERFECT! It's a five-star recipe that I know I'll make again and again.
