Lettuce Wrap with Burdock Root

"3 Less" and "More Fruit and Vegetables" Dish

Feature

The dish has a unique texture. Burdock root, soya bean sprout and yard long-bean are crunchy vegetables. When compared to duck meat that is more commonly used as stuffing, this combination is lower in fat content. The flavour of shiitake mushroom will give you an unforgettable taste.
