Cover and cook until the cabbage is tender and the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes.
Bring to a simmer.
Whisk in cornstarch mixture and cook, whisking, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
To serve: Top each wrapper with a lettuce leaf and 1/2 cup filling.
Roll the wrapper around the filling, tucking in the edges as you roll.
Serve with the sauce and fried garlic and peanuts, if desired.
