Great for an appetizer, just roll them ahead of time. You can also add very thin rice noodles as well. Make a peanut dipping sauce to go with too.

How to make it

- Preheat the grill or broiler. Arrange rice, lettuce leaves, carrots, scallions, radishes and red peppers onto a serving platter or place each into a small bowl. In a medium bowl, mix together 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup water, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons garlic, 1 tablespoon ginger, and sugar. Divide into 4 small dipping bowls.
- Thread two meatballs onto each 10 inch skewer. Grill or broil for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides. If broiling, line the broiler pan with aluminum foil and drain fat after 6 minutes.

Reminds me of P. F. Chang's lettuce wraps only better! And neater because of the meatballs instead of the minced filling. Thanks.
