minutesIngredients
1 head cos lettuce
3 tbsp crushed peanuts

- Sauce
2 tsp cornflour
3 tbsp water
2½ tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tsp brown sugar
½ tsp red chilli flakes

2 tbsp oil
1 tbsp fresh ginger (minced)
2 garlic cloves (minced)

⅓ cup coriander leaves
⅓ cup mint leaves
Directions
- Sauce
- Dissolve the cornflour in water. Mix into a slurry.
- Add and mix lime juice, fish sauce, red chilli flakes, and sugar. Set aside.
- Chicken
- Heat oil in a frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add ginger, garlic, and green chilies, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the chicken mince and stir fry on high heat until it’s cooked through and all the water dries out (about 10-15 minutes).
- Reduce the flame to medium and add the sauce. Cook for about 1 minute to coat the chicken and the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and add the onions and herbs. Stir well.
- Assemble
- Spoon filling into a bowl, and serve with lettuce, crushed peanuts, extra herbs, and lime wedges.
- You could serve this with peanut sauce or my special dipping sauce.
