Spicy Asian Lettuc Wraps

Yield
4 servings (serving size: 3 lettuce wraps)

Ingredients
2 1/2 ounces bean threads (cellophane noodles) (I used Rice noodles)
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon chile paste with garlic
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
2 cups chopped roasted skinless, boneless chicken (I just grabbed a Rotisserie Chicken)
12 large Boston or Romaine lettuce leaves (I used Green Leaf Lettuce)

Preparation
Cover bean threads with boiling water. Let stand for 5 minutes or until softened. Drain, and rinse under cool water. Chop noodles.
While bean threads soak, combine cilantro, soy sauce, chile paste, and oil in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add noodles and chicken to soy sauce mixture; toss well to coat. Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture down center of each lettuce leaf; roll up.

Funny

Even if it isn't true, it's still funny :) Thanks again to cousin Marilyn, you always send the best jokes.

A LITTLE KNOWN BASEBALL FACT:
The first testicular guard (Cup) was used in baseball in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1934.
It took 60 years for men to realize that the brain is also important.
