Ingredients

  • 1 large head fresh lettuce (Romaine or similar; about 12–16 leaves)

  • 6 ounces (180 g) vermicelli noodles, dry, cooked and drained

  • 8 ounces (225 g) boiled pork belly, sliced

  • 8 ounces (225 g) roasted pork belly, sliced

  • 8 ounces (225 g) imitation crab sticks, shredded

  • 1 medium cucumber, sliced into thin sticks

  • 2 green onions, sliced into strips

  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) spicy chili sauce

  • 3 tablespoons (45 mL) hoisin-style paste or fermented soybean paste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients

Wash and dry the lettuce leaves thoroughly, keeping them whole for wrapping.
Cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
Slice both boiled and roasted pork belly into bite-sized strips.
Shred the imitation crab sticks into thin pieces.
Slice cucumber and green onions into thin sticks for freshness and crunch.
Arrange all prepared components in separate serving bowls or on a platter for easy assembly.

2. Assemble the Lettuce Wraps

Place a lettuce leaf flat on your hand or a plate.
Add a small nest of vermicelli noodles to the center of the leaf.
Top with a few pieces of boiled pork belly, roasted pork belly, and shredded crab sticks.
Layer on cucumber and green onion strips.
Drizzle or spoon a little chili sauce and a dab of hoisin-style paste or soybean paste over the filling to taste.

Delicious fillings can be anything you already have in the fridge.

3. Wrap and Serve

Fold the lettuce leaf around the filling, tucking in the sides to form a neat packet.
Dip in extra sauce if desired, and enjoy immediately for the freshest texture and fullest flavor.

Serving Tips

    Add brightness and flavor with fresh mint or cilantro

  • Serve all components buffet-style for an interactive meal that allows guests to customize each wrap. 🍽️
