Lightbulb lettuce rolls/wraps

Actually, Deb and Rachel, lettuce makes great springroll wrappers too. Use the softer leaf-type lettuces. Cook up your favourite eggroll or springroll filling - lamb or pork, mushrooms, sprouts, scallions, ginger, etc - roll up tightly in the lettuce, then eat with your fingers with this dipping sauce -

Spicy Dipping Sauce

1 large clove garlic
1 or 2 small red chilies, seeded
2 tsp granular Splenda (or 1 tsp each Splenda and brown SugarTwin)
juice of half a lime
4 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp tamarind paste (if you don't have it, use the whole lime's juice)
====================
- blend everything in blender or food processor.
- makes 1/2 cup, about 5 carbs total .... this is STRONG, a little goes a long way. 1/2 cup is enough for 4 servings ... so just over 1 carb per.
