I love lettuce wraps...we miss the 2 great Vietnamese restaurants we had in Denver that made the Vietnamese style skinny eggrolls that you wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves with all the condiments - GOOD STUFF...thanks for sharing your recipe! I'd love to try it.

Thankyou, I actually just made this rescipe up off the top off my head yesterday, but I tried it out last night and it turned out soooooooooo amazing. Everythintg worked perfectly and all the flavours complimented eachother increadibly well. I was so proud of myself. It is a little challenging to make because there are so many proscess steps but everything turns out great and the dipping sauce was PHENOMINAL.

I love food.

Thank you for this recipe. I love lettuce wraps. I love the fact that you are so healthy. I have been on a health food kick for about 1 month now. Im trying to cut down on the sweet stuff and drink smoothies instead. I love to bake so I just bake and give it away! M
