Korean Lettuce Wraps

Last Updated on June 29, 2022 by Rebecca Huff

Korean Lettuce Wraps are a perfect addition to your table if you are having a Korean Culture Night at home. Children will enjoy wrapping tender bites of meat in a lettuce leaf bite by bite!

Using leafy greens for a wrap means we are eating more healthy vegetables so that is a bonus in nutrition. If you prefer you can use my Bulgogi sauce on meat for lettuce wraps as well. Both are delicious. If you prefer chicken, it's no problem to use chicken instead. Just cut it into bite-sized pieces.

If your kids aren't keen to use lettuce wraps, simply serve theirs over rice or noodles. That's how I work it out for our family, though most of the time they want to use the lettuce wraps!
