*If Making, make these first and sit aside. Heat oil in a large skillet to 375 degrees F. Cut noodles into 4-5 inch strips.
Once oil is hot, break noodles apart and drop into oil.
Fry for 30 seconds, careful not to brown. The noodles will puff up pretty quickly.
Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Serve on top of the lettuce wraps.
Store any leftovers in an air tight container at room temperature.
