You can also swap the veggies out for your favourites. So, give it a try with our easy step-by-step instructions and this might just become part of your regular meal plan too!

Yuk Sung

olive oil

lean beef mince (or pork, or chicken mince)

garlic garlic

grated ginger (or ginger paste)

onion (or one medium onion, finely diced)

carrot (or one large carrot, finely diced)

celery

mushrooms (finely diced)

salt

Chinese five spice

2-3 gem lettuces (very fresh)

rice wine vinegar

sugar

cornflour

water

spring onions (finely sliced)

red chilli (finely sliced)

chives

peanuts

Dice the onions, carrots, celery and mushrooms finely.

Mince the garlic and grate the ginger (unless using paste).

Mix together all the ingredients for the Yuk Sung sauce. Make sure the cornflour is fully dissolved.

Prepping

Add half the olive oil to a large frying pan and heat over medium-high heat.

Add the ground meat together with the garlic and ginger. Fry for 5-7 minutes until the meat is cooked through. Break the meat up quite finely whilst cooking. Remove the cooked meat to a bowl.

Add the second half of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the onions and fry for 1 minute.

Add the carrots and celery and fry for another minute.

Add the mushrooms and fry the vegetables until cooked through.

Add the ground meat back into the pan along with the sauce, salt and Chinese five spice.

Cook together for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Make the meat filling

Cut the root end of the gem lettuce to loosen the leaves. Wash and dry the leaves thoroughly. You can also shock the leaves in an ice bath for extra crispiness.

Spoon tablespoons of the meat filling onto the middle of each gem lettuce leaf. Be careful not to overload it or the leaves will lose their &#39;bowl&#39; shape.

Garnish with sliced spring onions, finely sliced red chilli, chopped chives and finely chopped peanuts. Garnishes are optional and you can choose whichever garnish you prefer.
