For a smoother peanut sauce, use warm water. Adjust the amount of sambal oelek to your desired level of spiciness. If Napa cabbage is unavailable, you can substitute with butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce leaves, though the texture will be different. These wraps are delicious served with a side of steamed rice or a refreshing cucumber salad.

Jun 26, 2025The spice level was just right for me, but my kids preferred a little less sambal oelek. Next time, I'll make a mild batch and a spicy batch.
