Description

San Choy Bau – Lettuce Wraps, made with marinated chicken breast, loads of veggies and wrapped up in fresh lettuce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 400g chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon rice bran oil

MARINADE

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

VEGETABLES

  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1cm piece ginger
  • 2 spring onions
  • 1 small carrot
  • 1 bunch Chinese broccoli, stems only
  • 100g water chestnuts
  • 100g bambo slices
  • 1 red chilli (optional)

TO SERVE

  • lettuce leaves
  • crushed peanuts

Instructions

Combine the marinade ingredients and pour over chicken, mix to combine and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight.

Finely dice all the vegetables and place into a large bowl until ready to cook.

Heat the rice bran oil in a large work or frypan over high heat.  Add the chicken and cook, while stirring, until chicken turns white.  Add in all the vegetables and cook for 2-5 minutes, stirring to combine.

Transfer to a serving bowl alongside the lettuce leaves and crushed peanuts.  To serve, spoon filling into a lettuce leaf, top with peanuts and enjoy!

Notes

You could also add in extra veggies such as baby corn and mushrooms.

You can also add cooked vermicelli to serve, so you add a little noodles to the lettuce leaf first, then top with filling and peanuts.
