Asian Lettuce Cups

I have made these before and shared the recipe with you here on blog.  This time I took the some photos of the entire process and I thought I would reshare the recipe.  

I apologize for my lake of posting lately.  I was ill for a while, and I got behind on cooking; and then we went through a phase were I need to cook really quick recipes and I did not have time for photography.  

And NOW blogger has changed it's format and my poor old brain is not liking this AT ALL.
