Introduction
My kids love this dish. It's a great way for kids to eat more veggies. They get their lettuce as a fun scoop for their meat and they get to eat with their hands. I usually make some rice to go with this dish. My kids love this dish. It's a great way for kids to eat more veggies.

Second: Lightly flatten the lettuce with flat side of a knife or cleaver and arrange around the outside of a large platter or in a separate basket for serving.
