Step 1

Heat the oil in a large wok.

Step 2

Fry the chicken mince over a high heat until browned, which should take about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Tip in the carrots, mushrooms and chestnuts. Fry for another 3 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the Chinese Five Spice, then pour in the soy sauce, rice wine and honey.

Step 5

Stir fry at high heat  and ensure the sauce bubbles and eventually dries up so that you don’t end up with soggy mince.

Step 6

Remove from the heat, and stir in sesame oil.

Step 7

Place the mince in a serving dish, with lettuce leaves on the side so that guests can help themselves. Alternatively, wait for the meat to cool down a bit and fill each lettuce cup with the chicken, then place on a serving platter. Perfect for parties!

Step 8

Sprinkle with spring onions, red chillies and coriander. Enjoy!
