Oops, I thought I posted it. Went back to edit.

BTW, I tried it using Boston lettuce leaves as wraps, but didn't care for it. Maybe if I'd made the meatballs larger and/or in logs I would have liked it better.

Craig's made banh mi meatballs, then shredded carrots and finely julienned red bell to make Boston lettuce wraps before. He also made some kind of sauce to go with, but neither of us remembers. I'm think a mix of hoisin, sesame oil, sriracha/sambal or some other hot sauce would be good, with maybe a bit of soy sauce or tamari thrown in.
