This Asian inspired recipe for Meatball and Rice Noodle Lettuce Wraps is great as an appetizer or even main course. These meatballs pack a ton of flavor. I loved how the recipe called for servings them over a bed of lettuce and rice noodles, but they would be great with rice as well. Meatball and Rice Noodle Lettuce Wraps are a healthy appetizer that is also perfect for lunch or dinner!
