How to Make Zus Chicken Wrap (Traditional & Healthy Version)
The Zus Chicken Wrap is a modern Malaysian lunch favorite that blends local flavors with global inspiration. In Malaysia’s vibrant food scene, wraps have become increasingly popular as a quick, healthy meal option—perfect for busy workdays or as a nourishing lunchbox treat. This vegetarian version pays homage to the multicultural influences of Malaysian cuisine, using protein-packed plant-based 'ayam' (chicken) and locally sourced vegetables, all wrapped in a wholesome whole-grain tortilla.
