Notes

Use fresh, crisp lettuce like iceberg or butter lettuce for best results. Adjust spice level by reducing chili garlic sauce or chili oil. Mirin can be substituted with a mix of apple juice and vinegar. Store filling separately from lettuce for freshness. Filling can be refrigerated for 3–4 days or frozen up to 2 months.
