Thai Style Lettuce Wraps

 

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 garlic clove, crushed

  • 1-2 spring onions, sliced

  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

  • 300g cooked prawns, or turkey mince or tofu cubed

  • 100g fine green beans

  • 1 carrot, grated

  • 50g canned bamboo shoots

  • 1 tsp fish sauce (optional)

  • 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

  • 2 tsp tamari sauce

  • ½ red chilli, deseeded chopped

  • Handful of beansprouts

  • Romaine or lettuce leaves

  • Peanut dressing – optional

  • 2 tbsp peanut butter

  • ½ lemon or lime, squeezed

  • Water

  

 Method

 

1.    Heat oil in a large frying pan and add the garlic and ginger and saute for minute

2.    Add the carrot and bamboo shoots and stir for 5 minutes (if using tofu or mince, add here)

3.    Meanwhile put the green beans in a saucepan of boiling water and boil for a couple of minutes. Drain and roughly chop. In a small bowl make up the peanut dressing, simply adding enough water to loosen the peanut butter enough to desired consistency.

4.    Add all the remaining ingredients to the pan (except dressing!) and stir fry for a further 2-3 minutes. The cooked shellfish won’t need longer than this

5.    Spoon the mixture into the lettuce leaves, drizzle with dressing and enjoy
