Gochujang heat, teriyaki sweet, and the subtle nutty richness of sesame… can a lettuce cup get any better? (Don't ask, we don't want to pit our lettuce cups against each other, they're all good, and we love them all!) You'll be amazed flavors this subtle and layered came together in so little time. We love all our lettuce cups equally, but we like this one just a little bit more.
