Additional Notes

  • Lettuce leaves are commonly included in vegetable packs purchased in many cities and provinces; you can substitute with chives or other greens if necessary.
  • Directly blanching lettuce leaves for a cold salad results in a bitter taste, so making them into pancake fillings is a better option.
