This classic Chinese dish served in lettuce cups is given a Thai twist with the addition of fish sauce and lime juice. Soaking the whole lettuce in cold water helps the leaves to separate and come away without tearing. Use a pair of scissors to trim each lettuce cup to an even size.
Method
TIP: For extra crunch, add 4 tablespoons chopped Pickled Randish (Budget Recipe Book) or 4 tablespoons chopped water chestnuts along with the bean sprouts at the end.
