  • Penzey's Bangkok spice blend a few BIG shakes
  • soy sauce maybe a tablespoon
  • lime juice maybe 1/2 a tablespoon

Instructions

  • Mix the vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, water chestnuts, noodles, and cooked chicken in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Mix up one or both of the dipping sauce and set aside.
  • Pull the lettuce leaves off and rinse and dry.
  • Heat the chicken mixture until warm, in a small saucepan. It doesn't need to be hot, just warm.
  • Serve everything at the table and let everyone build their wraps, laying a lettuce leave on the plate, spooning some chicken mixture on that, then topping with some cabbage and carrots. Roll up like a burrito and dip into the sauce(s) of your choice. Or spoon some of the sauce down the top and then roll it up.
