This dish is meant to be eaten with your fingers. Experiment with a variety of lettuces (just be sure they're sturdy enough to hold the filling), roll up the leaves, and enjoy! Just be sure to have some napkins at the ready if you're serving these to a crowd. The savory combination of ground pork and veal really puts this easy, 15-minute recipe over the top. But you can definitely use one or the other if that's all you have on hand. The ground meats nicely complement the onion, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and mung bean sprouts. Top with some toasted sesame seeds right before serving as the finishing touch.
