Asian Lettuce Wraps
"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."

Wanted to love this but was a little too sweet for my tastes. Next time I will use straight chili sauce instead of sweet. Loved the texture with the sesame and pine nuts. -
Mmmm, so simple and delicious! I didn't have any rice vinegar so used some sake instead and also substituted parsley for the cilantro for the same reason. The lettuce I had was too small to bother trying to wrap it so I served over a bed of the lettuce and it made a great light dinner.
