Sweet and spicy. How can you go wrong? I feel these are similar to the ones served at P. F. Changs. This can be served hot or cold. I usually serve this with a cool yogurt and cucumber salad. I use the leftovers on my lunch salad the next day.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality lentils. Puy lentils are a good choice, as they hold their shape well and have a slightly nutty flavor.
  • Be sure to rinse the lentils thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • If you don't have any vegetable broth, you can use water instead. However, vegetable broth will add more flavor to the dish.
  • If you like your lettuce wraps spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the lentil mixture.
  • To make the lettuce wraps easier to assemble, use large lettuce leaves. Butterhead lettuce or romaine lettuce are good choices.
  • Be sure to fill the lettuce wraps generously with the lentil mixture. You can also add other toppings, such as shredded carrots, cucumber, or cilantro.

Conclusion:

These Asian Lentil Lettuce Wraps are a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
