Start with 600 g of pork mince. That fills enough lettuce cups for four.

Brown the mince properly before the sauces go in. Add wet sauces to pale mince and it stews in the pan instead of frying.

Ingredients

• 600 g pork mince
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tbsp grated ginger
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 carrot, grated
• 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
• 1 iceberg lettuce, leaves separated

Method

1. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat for 1 minute.
2. Add the mince. Press it flat and leave it for 3 minutes until the base browns. Break it up and cook for 3 minutes more.
3. Add the garlic and ginger. Stir fry for 1 minute.
4. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir fry for 1 minute, until no pink remains and the mince reaches 75°C.
5. Take the wok off the heat. Stir through the carrot and spring onion.
6. Spoon the mince into the lettuce leaves and serve straight away.

Serve it

Serve with steamed rice on the side and extra soy sauce or chilli sauce at the table.
