Minced Chicken with Chilies and Cilantro in Lettuce Cups

A super easy (and healthy) recipe that's high in flavor. A must try!

Makes: 6-8 servings

Ingredients:

500 grams chicken mince

6 garlic cloves, chopped

4 small green chillies, finely chopped

3 red chillies, finely sliced into thin, long sticks

3 stems green onions, sliced into thin, long sticks

1/2 medium sized yellow onion, chopped

1 tbsp fish sauce

2 lime leaves, finely sliced

1/4 bunch fresh mint leaves

1/4 bunch fresh cilantro leaves

Salt, to taste

1/2 medium sized red onion, finely sliced

2 limes, juiced

Iceberg lettuce cups

2 tbsp vegetable oil

Heat oil in a large wok. Add the minced chicken and stir till it starts to turn white. Add garlic, yellow onion and chillies and stir-fry for a minute. Quickly add fish sauce, red onion, lime leaves, herbs and salt. Cook for another minute. Add the lime juice and remove from the stove. Arrange the lettuce cups on a platter and scoop the minced chicken into them. Serve.

Note: While stir frying, add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped ginger, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of rice vinegar to make the wraps more juicy. These ingredients increase the number of calories slightly, but add more flavor.
