Just not Asian food but a few years ago the fad in fast food was lettuce wrapped whatevers (burgers, chicken, etc.) for those following the low-starch diets.
Don't forget cooked lettuce ...

In addition to their most common use in salads, you can also braise, steam, sauté and even grill certain lettuce varieties to create a wonderful and different taste treat. Try halving a head of radicchio or romaine lengthwise, and brush on some extra virgin olive oil, and grill until they soften and just begin to brown-absolutely delicious.
Lettuce is very nutritional so you can use it in any food preparation.
Lettuce is a live food with its rich vitamin content, especially the anti scorbutic vitamin C. It is bulky low in food value but high in health value. It is rich in mineral salts with the alkaline elements greatly predominating. So it helps to keep the blood clean. the mind alert and body in good health.
The loose leaf lettuce is considered a better food. It has the advantage of being more exposed to sunlight. thus providing it with a richer supply of vitamins than the head-lettuce in which the leaves are closed. Whatever quality of lettuce is selected for use, it should be ensured that it is fresh. crisp and green -leaved. The greener the leaves. the higher the vitamins.
