2. Once hamburger is cooked, there should be no reason to drain any fat since you're using a 93% - 7% meat blend. This, "no drain," hamburger is also important since if you were to drain it, you'd loose the majority of your spices and smaller ingredients through your strainer.

Steam for approximately 5 minutes. You may need additional Beef Broth at the steam completion. You'll want a moist [not dripping] consistency to your meat mixture.
4. After frying, plate up hamburger meat mixture in a serving bowl and set to the side.
5. Chop all wrap filler vegetables, plate and chill.
6. De-thaw shrimp in cool water.
7. Paper towel dry shrimp.
8. Add 2 tablespoons fish sauce to shrimp and add crushed Cilantro, powdered garlic and onion powder. Mix gently and well.
9. Place shreadded cabbage in a seperate serving dish and pile miniature chilled shrimp atop cabbage.
10. To prepare wraps, place warm meat atop chilled lettuce, then add any vegetable wrap toppings you and your guests may desire. Lastly, add additional Sriracha Chili Sauce, Fish Sauce, Hot Mustard, Soy Sauce, Peanut Sauce or your own homemade Thai Sweet Chili Sauce.
