What to Serve with Asian Lettuce Wraps (10 Easy Sides)

When you’re looking for a side dish to pair with your Asian lettuce wraps, it can be tough to know what to choose.

There are so many options out there!

But I’ve got you covered.

In this post, we’ll go over some of my favorite easy sides that will make any meal special.

10 Easy Sides to Serve with Asian Lettuce Wraps

Here are 10 easy sides to serve with Asian lettuce wraps:

1. Steamed Broccoli

I love cooking, but I don’t love spending hours in the kitchen.

That’s why I like to make side dishes that are quick and easy to prepare.

And one of my favorite side dishes is steamed broccoli.

Here’s how I do it:

1. To make this side dish, I start by cutting up some broccoli into small pieces.
2. Then, I put about 2 tablespoons of water in the bottom of my steamer and bring it to a boil before adding the broccoli.
3. Once it reaches a boil again, I turn off the heat and let it sit until the broccoli is cooked through, which usually takes about 5 minutes.
4. After that’s done, you can serve your broccoli alongside your lettuce wraps!

This makes for an easy way to add some extra flavor while also making your meal complete!

2. Quinoa Salad

I love making quinoa salad.

It’s simple, but it tastes so good!

Here’s how:

1. First, I cook the quinoa with some olive oil and a little bit of salt.
2. Then, I add chopped onions, chopped bell peppers, chopped celery, and diced tomatoes.
3. Finally, I add chopped fresh basil.
4. Once my quinoa is done cooking and all of the ingredients have been added, I mix everything together and serve it cold.

I like to eat this side dish with Asian lettuce wraps because they’re both light and healthy—and they each have tons of flavor that complements the other!

3. Fried Tofu or Tempeh

Fried tofu or tempeh is one of my favorite side dishes to serve with Asian wraps.

It’s a great way to add some protein and crunch to your meal, and it’s super easy to make in just a few steps!

Here’s how I like to make it:

1. First, I slice the tofu or tempeh into strips.
2. Then, I heat up a skillet over medium heat and add some oil (I use olive oil).
3. Once the oil is hot, I add the tofu or tempeh strips and let them cook for about 5 minutes on each side.
4. When they’re golden brown, I take them out of the pan and serve them alongside my lettuce wraps!

4. Crunchy Thai Salad with Peanut Dressing

This salad is full of crunchy veggies, like red cabbage and carrots, that pair perfectly with the savory peanut dressing.

And it’s so easy to make: just toss all the ingredients together in a large bowl and serve!

It’s also an awesome match with Asian lettuce wraps because both dishes use similar flavors and textures—so they’ll complement each other beautifully.

Plus, they’re both super healthy, so you’ll feel great after eating them both together!

5. Kimchi

One of my favorite side dishes is kimchi, and I’ve found that it pairs really well with the flavors in lettuce wraps.

How I usually do this:

1. Prepare the kimchi.
2. Chop the kimchi into small pieces, and place it in a bowl.
3. Add some salt to taste, and mix well with your hands or a spoon until all of the pieces are coated with salt.
4. Chill for about 15 minutes before serving (or for up to 1 hour).
5. Serve alongside Asian lettuce wraps!

6. Mediterranean Brown Rice Salad

This is one of my favorite side dishes.

It’s got a lot of flavor, and it’s really easy to make.

All you need is brown rice, olives, bell peppers, cucumbers, and feta cheese.

You can use any kind of rice you want—I like to use brown rice because it’s healthier than white rice, but if that doesn’t work for you, then feel free to use whatever kind of rice you normally do!

If you want to match these foods together and make a complete meal out of them, just throw them all together in a bowl or plate as-is—it’ll add some extra flavor to your lettuce wraps when you eat them!

7. Asian Cucumber Salad

I love to serve Asian Cucumber Salad as a side dish with any Asian-inspired meal.

It’s easy to make and it adds a lot of flavor to the meal.

Here’s how I do it (usually):

1. First, I slice up some cucumbers into long strips and then cut those strips into smaller pieces.
2. Next, I add salt and sugar to the sliced cucumbers, along with some sesame seeds (if you want).
3. Then, I mix all of this together until it has a uniform consistency and there is no excess liquid.
4. Finally, I serve the salad over lettuce wraps or rice noodles!

This side dish goes well with any kind of Asian-inspired entree because it adds a refreshing crunchiness that contrasts nicely with heavier dishes like fried food or meaty dishes.

8. Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Carrots

Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Carrots are a perfect side dish.

I like to make this side dish in just a few steps:

1. First, I wash the carrots and peel them if necessary, then cut them into sticks or cubes depending on what size pieces I want for my meal.
2. Then I wash and scrub the sweet potatoes until they are clean, then cut them into cubes as well.
3. Now it is time to roast the vegetables!
4. To roast them, place them in a baking pan with a little bit of olive oil and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes or until they are soft inside but still hold their shape outside. The key here is not to overcook them or they will be mushy instead of crispy on the outside.
5. Once your roasted vegetables are finished cooking, take them out of the oven and let them cool off before serving with your Asian lettuce wraps for a delicious meal!

9. Grilled Chili Lime Butter Corn on The Cob

Grilled Chili Lime Butter Corn on the Cob is super easy to make in just a few steps and it tastes amazing!

Here’s how I do it:

1. First, I fire up my grill and let it heat up.
2. Then I take a package of frozen corn and put it on the grill.
3. After about five minutes, I turn the corn over to cook the other side.
4. While that’s happening, I take some butter and add some lime juice and chili powder to it until it turns into a buttery paste.
5. Then I spread this spicy-sweet butter on both sides of each ear of grilled corn before serving them!

This side dish pairs perfectly with Asian lettuce wraps because it adds some heat and sweetness to balance out all of those savory flavors from your wrap!

10. Homemade Egg Rolls

Egg rolls are another great option for serving with Asian lettuce wraps because they’re crispy and flavorful on their own, but also pair perfectly with other foods like tomatoes or carrots (which are also great for serving with lettuce wraps).

They’re even good just dipped into soy sauce!

What to Serve with Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps?

Whether you’re making Asian chicken lettuce wraps for dinner or to take to a party, you probably have a few questions about what to serve with them.

Here are 8 sides that go perfectly with your Asian chicken lettuce wraps:

1. Potato wedges – Potato wedges are a great way to add some carbs and fiber to your meal. They’re also easy to make in bulk and keep in the fridge until you need them.
2. Celery sticks – Celery is another vegetable that adds fiber and some crunchy texture to your meal, but it won’t overpower the flavor of your wraps like croutons might.
3. Carrot sticks – Carrots are kind of an underrated vegetable; they’re sweet but not overly sweet, which makes them perfect for serving alongside these Asian-inspired wraps!
4. Broccoli florets – Broccoli has a nice crunchy texture that pairs well with the softness of lettuce wraps made with chicken breast meat instead of ground turkey or pork tenderloin (which can often be dry).
5. Cucumber slices – Cucumbers are another great option for adding crunchy texture. Just make sure you slice them thin enough so they don’t overwhelm the wrap!
6. Salsa – Salsa adds flavor, color, and texture to any dish, so why not try it with these wraps? It’ll give them just a touch of heat and freshness that will complement their other flavors perfectly.
7. Bean sprouts – Like cucumbers, bean sprouts are another crunchy veggie option that would go well with these wraps because they add texture without overwhelming them with strong flavors like other veggies might do (like avocados!). Plus there’s more protein per calorie than any other vegetable!
8. Arugula salad – Arugula is another good option for adding crunchy texture to your meal, as well as a nice peppery taste (if you like arugula).
