Instructions
- Cook the Chinese rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, stir in the minced ginger and season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce if desired. Set aside.

- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt. In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, and scramble the eggs until just cooked through. Set aside.
- Carefully separate the lettuce leaves, rinsing them under cold water and patting dry. These will serve as your wraps.
