Tip

Use iceberg lettuce — its leaves are sturdier and won't tear easily.

Frequently asked questions

What's the best lettuce for this recipe?

Iceberg — its leaves are sturdy enough to hold the filling. Romaine is a good alternative too.

Is it kid-friendly?

Yes! Kids love stuffing their own wraps. Reduce the soy sauce for less sodium.

Can I skip the soy sauce?

Swap it for a tablespoon of lime juice with a pinch of salt — the flavour changes but it's still delicious.
