How to Make Asian Roll Lettuce Wrap Fun For The Entire Family
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb ground turkey, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp minced garlic, and 2 tsp grated ginger. Gently mix.
- Shape the mixture into 16 oval-shaped meatballs.
- Cover and refrigerate the meatballs while you prepare the rice.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup long-grain rice and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
- Prepare your serving platter or individual bowls with cooked rice, lettuce leaves (about 16 large leaves), 1 cup shredded carrots, 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, 1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes, and 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup water, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp grated ginger, and 1 tbsp sugar. Divide the sauce into 4 small dipping bowls.
- Thread two meatballs onto each of 8 (10-inch) bamboo skewers. (If using fewer skewers, adjust meatball amount accordingly.)
- Grill or broil the meatballs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. If broiling, line the broiler pan with aluminum foil to prevent sticking and drain off excess fat after 6 minutes.
- To assemble, place a lettuce leaf in your hand. Add a spoonful of rice, a meatball skewer (remove the skewer before eating if preferred), and a selection of the prepared vegetables.
- Roll up the lettuce wrap and enjoy with your dipping sauce!
