Do you ever order lettuce wraps at a restaurant? They are so fun. Chicken, mushrooms, and water chestnuts wrapped in a lettuce leaf. Make sure you buy the butter lettuce because it’s flexible enough to wrap without breaking. Top these with some rice sticks and it’s ready to eat. The rice sticks are really fun to make. You fry them in some oil and they puff right up.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Black Bean Garlic sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
