Inspired by eating Asian Lettuce wraps at chain restaurants; my friend & I were on a mission to find healthy & tasty recipes that we could make at home when fresh veggies were in season. We both love to cook & we’ve been cooking together for our families & neighborhood gatherings for the past 10 years. Our Market Fresh Lettuce Wraps with Cook-top Sauces is one recipe we developed that fit the criteria. I chose to submit this recipe because these lettuce wraps are delicious and everyone loves the in-season, market fresh ingredients used in this colorful platter, as well as the sauces we have individualized & crafted over the past two years. A bonus to this recipe is that individuals can choose the veggies & sauces they most enjoy to add to their own handmade wraps.
