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.
