FAQ:
Q: Can I use a different type of lettuce for the wraps?
A: Yes, you can use Romaine lettuce or any sturdy lettuce variety, though butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce are preferred for their ability to hold the filling without tearing.

Q: How can I make these wraps spicier?
A: To make these wraps spicier, increase the amount of chili flakes in the chicken filling or add Thai bird’s eye chilies to the sauce. You can also use a spicier peanut sauce by adding chili paste.

Q: Can I make the filling ahead of time?
A: Yes, the chicken filling can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat before serving with fresh lettuce leaves.
