Notes
Storage: Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If possible, keep the peanut sauce separate to maintain the freshness of the vegetables and prevent the wraps from becoming soggy.
Reheating: If you prefer to heat the wraps, do so in a skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until warmed through. Be careful not to overheat, as this can dry out the chicken and vegetables.
Serving: Serve the wraps at room temperature for the best flavor and texture. Consider garnishing with fresh herbs like cilantro or mint, and serve with extra peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
Chef’s Tip: For added crunch and flavor, consider adding crushed peanuts or sesame seeds as a topping before folding the wraps. You can also customize the vegetables based on your preferences or seasonal availability.
