25 Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsps grated fresh ginger or 1⁄2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1⁄4 cup water or stock
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 2 Tbsps sliced shallots
  • 1 tsp Asian chili sauce or to taste
  • 1 sliced thai chile pepper (very spicy, so optional)
  • 1⁄4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tsps brown sugar
  • 2–3 Tbsps asian fish sauce
  • 18 whole large lettuce leaves (about 3 lettuce heads)
  • 1⁄2 lb young raw green beans, thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • 1 cucumber, cut into strips with your peeler or mandolin
  • 1 large carrot, shredded
  • Some fresh mint, cilantro, and basil
  • Cut limes
  • Asian chili sauce
  • 1⁄2 cup chopped peanuts
  • 1⁄4 cup sugar
  • 1⁄2 cup water
  • 1⁄4 cup asian fish sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Preparation

  1. Mix all the ingredients for the dipping sauce in a little bowl. Set aside..

  2. In a medium nonstick pan, heat the vegetable oil and sauté the garlic and ginger over medium heat until light brown. Add 1⁄4 cup water or stock, then add the chicken and stir well, separating the chicken into small bits. This should take you about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain out the water..

  3. Transfer the cooked chicken into a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients for the filling and mix well. Taste and season until there is a good balance among the sweet, tart, and savory flavors. You might need a bit more fish sauce, another squeeze of lemon, a little more hotsauce....

  4. On a large platter, mound the vegetables, herbs, and chicken. Serve with little bowls of the dipping sauce, cut limes, fish sauce, chili sauce, and chopped peanuts..

  5. At the table, fill lettuce leaves with flavorful minced chicken, vegetables, and pieces of torn herbs. Add a squeeze of lime or some peanut crunch, and roll it up. Serve with some steamed brown rice on the side, and you have a perfect summer dinner..

Are the very 4 last ingredients the dipping sauce?

Love the idea of using tofu instead of chicken... Perfect for meatless Mondays!
