Vietnamese lettuce wraps.

Vietnamese dishes are well known for using a lot of fresh herbs, low carb and flavorful. I cannot find that many type of fresh herbs in Ireland like in Vietnam but there are enough to work around it. This recipe has great balance of savory and refreshing flavor. Easy to make and it makes you feel light, satisfied if you want a low carb meal. It also could be served with rice or noodles.
