I like banh mi sandwiches primarily on account of all of their pickled vegetable goodness. (I’m an enormous vinegar fan, as you already know.) Unfortunately, most of them have approach too little meat and greens for all the bread they embody. These Banh Mi Chicken Burger Lettuce Wraps offer you all the flavors, however no bun in any respect.

How to make Banh Mi Chicken Burger Lettuce Wraps
Here I’ve substituted floor rooster for the pork and blended in just a little little bit of ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and lime with the meat earlier than grilling. The carrots, cucumbers, and Daikon radish (or onion) get a fast soak in brine to pickle them. The burgers, veggies, plus spicy mayo and jalapeños (in the event you dare) come collectively in a low carb lettuce wrap. No bread required.
