These little lettuce wraps are packed full of flavour yet cutting out on the carbs. You can use chicken mince or pork mince traditionally but I find that this mixture of mushrooms and tofu is just perfect whilst being healthier too.

Ingredients:

⁃ 500g of mince meat (can use chicken, pork or turkey) or today I used 250g of scrambled up tofu and 250g chopped mushrooms (I prefer chestnut mushrooms)

⁃ 1 tbsp sesame oil

⁃ 4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

⁃ 1 large piece of ginger, grated

⁃ 3 tbsp hoisin sauce

⁃ 1 tbsp oyster sauce/ alternative

⁃ 1 tbsp Siracha

⁃ 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

⁃ 1 tbsp soy sauce

⁃ Pinch of sugar

⁃ Sweet chilli sauce (to serve)

⁃ Gem lettuce (to serve)

⁃ Spring onions (to decorate)

⁃ Sesame seeds (to decorate)

Method:

1. Add the sesame oil, garlic and ginger to a pan and stir until fragrant.

2. Then add in the mince or tofu and mushrooms. Stir until cooked.

3. Add in all the sauce ingredients and stir for a few more minutes.

4. Serve by placing some mixture on a lettuce piece. Drizzle over the sweet chilli sauce, spring onions, sesame seeds and a little more sesame oil.
