Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tsp cornflour / cornstarch (OR 2 tbsp uncooked rice (any rice is fine) (Note 1))
3 tbsp water
2 1/2 tbsp lime juice ((1 to 2 limes))
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tsp brown sugar
2 tbsp peanut oil ((or other high smoke point cooking oil))
1 tbsp fresh ginger (, grated or very finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves (, large, minced)
1 lemon grass stalk (, white and very pale green part only, finely chopped (Note 2))
2 Thai or birds eye chilli (, deseeded and finely chopped (adjust to taste))
1 lb / 500g chicken mince ((ground chicken) OR pork)
1/2 red onion (, cut into 4 wedges then finely sliced)
1/3 cup coriander/cilantro leaves (, plus extra to garnish)
1/3 cup mint leaves (, plus extra to garnish)
3 tbsp crushed peanuts ((optional))
6 - 8 small to medium lettuce leaves ((I used baby cos / romaine) (Note 3))
Extra lime wedges, chilli

Steps:

  • Sauce: Place water and cornflour OR rice powder into a small bowl. Mix into a slurry. Add lime juice, fish sauce and sugar and mix to combine. Set aside.
  • Heat peanut oil in a wok (or heavy based fry pan) over medium high heat. Add ginger, garlic, lemongrass and chilli and sauté for 45 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn, it will taste bitter.
  • Add the chicken and turn up the heat to high. Cook the chicken, breaking up the mince into small pieces.
  • Once the chicken turns white and is almost cooked through (about 3 to 4 minutes), add Sauce. Cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute to coat the chicken and for the sauce to thicken.
  • Remove wok from heat. Stir through onion, coriander/cilantro and mint.
  • Spoon filling into a bowl, and serve with lettuce, peanuts, extra herbs and lime wedges on the side - leave everyone to make their own. Spoon filling into lettuce cups and garnish with what you want!
  • Sauce option: Take it over the top by serving with Thai Peanut Satay Sauce, as pictured in the first photo in post! It's extra amazing (though not traditional!)

ASIAN LETTUCE WRAPS



Asian Lettuce Wraps image

Delicious and bursting with flavor, Asian lettuce wraps are a great idea for entertaining or a family style meal. Each person can build their own fresh, delicious wrap. Just be sure to have plates or napkins available since the mixture can sometimes drip a little. To serve, allow each person to spoon a portion of the meat into a lettuce leaf. Wrap the lettuce around the meat like a burrito and enjoy!
