Equipment
- 1 frying pan
- 1 lettuce spinner
Instructions
- Prepare the lettuce by cutting out the stem and pulling off leaves. The outer ones are too big and soft, keep for a salad; use the lettuce cups closer to the heart of the lettuce. Wash gently and use a lettuce spinner to dry. You will need 2-3 cups per person.
- Heat peanut oil in a hot frying pan and brown the chicken mince. Add fish sauce, soy sauce and lemon juice, cook for one minute.
- Remove from heat and stir through bean sprouts and coriander leaves.
- Spoon chicken mixture into lettuce cups and serve immediately.
Notes
Tip
Alternatively, if you don’t mind spillage, serve the chicken mixture in a large bowl on the centre of the table and let everyone fill their own lettuce cups.
Variation
Finely chopped water chestnuts also add a nice crunch to this dish.
