San Choy Bau
Method
Put rice and water into a saucepan, bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to very low, cover and simmer 12 minutes until rice has absorbed the water. Stand without removing the lid 5 minutes. Spread rice onto a tray and refrigerate, uncovered 30 minutes until cold.
Heat a wok over medium heat. Add the oil, eschallots, chilli and lemongrass, stir-fry 1-2 minutes until soft. Increase heat to high, add pork mince and stir-fry, breaking up the mince for 4-5 minutes or until cooked through.
Combine the kecap manis and lime juice together then pour over the mince, add the rice and stir-fry 2-3 minutes or until hot. Remove from the heat.
Separate the leaves from the lettuce, wash then pat dry with paper towel. Spoon the san choy bau in lettuce cups top with, peanuts and herbs. Serve.
TIP: You can replace the pork mince with chicken mince and kecap manis with other Asian sauces like hoisin, char sui or sweet chilli.
TIP: To get nice shape lettuce cups, remove the core then cut the lettuce in half through where the core was, the cups will simply fall apart.
