  1. Loved it! Easy tasty, made it with ground chicken so even more healthy than the original recipe... also for condiments, we had Nuoc cham, hoisin, jalapenos cilantro, mint, lime slices, cucumber slices and bean sprouts in addition to the lettuce leaves <br/>the whole family enjoys this meal
     
  2. This meal has become an all time family favourite. Because everyone love sit so much, I have had to make it into the "main meal", and do that by adding about a tablespoon of boiled rice to each lettuce cup. Thank you.
