How to Make Asian Lettuce Wraps

  1. Blend together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger until smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground chicken or pork, 1/2 cup shredded carrots, 1/2 cup chopped water chestnuts, 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. Add enough of the prepared dressing to coat the filling evenly, then toss thoroughly.
