For the pate, combine ginger, garlic and salt in a food processor. Blend until well combined. Add the almonds and process to obtain a fine meal. Add the lemon juice. Add water, 2 tbsp at a time, until a thick hummus-like texture is achieved.

Add 2-3 tbsp of the pate to each lettuce leaf. Top with julienned vegetables and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Tuck in the sides and roll up each lettuce leaf into a tight wrap. Slice in half.
