In Good FlavorHomemade chicken sausage, pickled carrots and daikon, and cilantro wrapped in lettuce leaves. Serve with soy-oyster dipping sauce. Great as an appetizer or a light and healthy summer meal.
I served these chicken lettuce wraps to my husband twice this past week. To my delight, he loved them and gave them two thumbs up. He is my biggest blog supporter and critic, so it makes me very happy when he highly approves my new creations. (I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that my daughter is also one of my biggest supporters. Love you honey!)
These lettuce wraps are a great summertime meal, perfect for when you don’t feel like eating something heavy. The chicken sausages are flavorful, seasoned with oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, and black pepper. Since I had an abundance of cilantro, I added them to the sausage well, and for additional bulk, I added brown rice. Man, they are delicious even on their own, but they are outstanding in lettuce wraps.
To serve, I top the chicken sausage simply with my Pickled Carrots and Daikon as well as more cilantro. If you are not a cilantro fan, substitute with Thai basil, mint, or parsley. Everything then gets wrapped up in lettuce leaves and served with my homemade Soy-Oyster Dipping Sauce. Delish!
Be sure to make the Pickled Carrots and Daikon as it is an important component of this dish. It adds a soft crunch and sour notes that complements the savory tenderness of the chicken and dipping sauce so well. My husband and I had these babies for dinner after the photoshoot. Honestly, I couldn’t get enough of the pickled veggies and used twice the amount as you see in these photos. They are that good!!

Description
Homemade chicken sausage, pickled carrots and daikon, and cilantro wrapped in lettuce leaves. Serve with soy-oyster dipping sauce. Great as an appetizer or a light and healthy summer meal.
Ingredients
For the Sausage:
For the Dipping Sauce:
For Wrapping:
Instructions
- Combine all of the sausage ingredients (except oil) in a medium mixing bowl mix until blended. The sausage mixture will be sticky. Shape into four sausage links approximately 1″ x 8″. To form each sausage, line up 1/4 of mixture across a small sheet of plastic wrap. Cover mixture with plastic wrap as you roll and tuck it into the desired dimension.
- Preheat a large non-stick skillet on medium heat. Add oil. Uncover and roll each sausage into the skillet, using hands or spatula to reshape it if necessary once in the pan. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes total, or until the center is no longer pink, turning over half way through. The sausages will not be completely round as they flatten during cooking.
- To make the dipping sauce: whisk soy sauce, sugar, and rice wine vinegar until sugar dissolves. Add oyster sauce and whisk to combine.
- To serve, cut each sausage into thirds. Place on lettuce leaf. Add desired amount of Pickled Carrots and Daikon, cilantro, and dipping sauce. Roll up lettuce into a log. Enjoy with addition dollop of dipping sauce if desired.
- Makes 4 appetizer servings or 2 meals.

This looks and sound fantastic! My husband loves stuff like this too – there are never any leftovers! I've never tired doing a chicken sausage with a lettuce wrap, this is a recipe I definitely have to try! And I totally agree, the do chua is the way to go to add a little zip.
Thank you so much, Kathleen. I'm glad to hear that we share the same feelings about do chua and that our husbands see eye to eye on lettuce wraps. It was so funny how mine went on and on about how much he liked this dish as he was eating it!
Great your husband gave the two thumbs up Hoang, my partner, is also my best supporter and worst critic. I love it that way. I guess they make us strive for the best
Yummy wrap by the way
Wow, this is really something original, at least I never seen a similar recipe before and I do owe a lot of cooking books. It is pinned and will be tried soon. 🙂
I love pickled veggies, and I love that you served the chicken sausage in lettuce wraps – so healthy! I will definitely be bookmarking this recipe, Thao! 🙂
My husband is a picky eater, so when he gives a healthy recipe two thumbs up, I know it's a winner! I agree, especially when you are a food blogger, it is so beneficial to have someone who not only believes in you, but can also be completely honest. I'm glad you like the wraps! Thanks for stopping by, Emanuele!
Thank you for the pin, Adina! Please let me know what you think if you make this dish!
Thanks for bookmarking the recipe, Beeta! I'm glad you like it. I planted a couple of lettuce plants in a pot and they are growing like weed, which is not usually the case (I'm really bad at gardening). I'm looking forward to more lettuce wraps this summer.
Drool is currently dripping down my face!
Haha! Thank you Gigi!! Glad you like it!
These look mouthwatering! I can just imagine how flavorful and tasty they are especially with the crunchy pickled vegetables! So nice that your husband loved them too 🙂
These look so good, it doesn't help that I am very hungry, I want one right now!
Thanks Kelly! The textural and flavor contrast in these rolls are wonderful. I think I have to make my husband more of these wraps soon since the lettuce in my little planter is growing wild. 🙂
Thanks Katalina. I'm glad you like the lettuce wraps
Wrapped in lettuce, not only are these sausages scrumptious, but also they look fansy and sophisticated! Love your twist of the flavors! Nice job!
These lettuce wraps look so tasty! Love all that deliciousness stuffed inside crisp cool lettuce!

Pickled veggies are the best, aren't they? Like you, I would load my wrap up with them. These look absolutely delicious and I can see why your hubby would give them the thumbs up…I'm pretty sure mine would as well. I can't wait to make these (loving that they are low carb).
Oh, wow, these sound and look so yummy and full of flavor!
Pickled veggies are the best and add so much oomph to a sandwich!I think I will be eating lots of lettuce wraps this summer too since I planted a couple of lettuce plants and they DIDN'T DIE 🙂 They are thriving and there is an abundance of lettuce leaves in my fridge. So glad you like these lettuce wraps, Lynn!
Thanks Nicole! They are really tasty!
