The inspiration for this super delicious recipe has come to us with thanks to Luke Hines

This recipe can be prepped well ahead of time, refrigerated and then put together in a very short time ready for a weekend lunch or a weeknight dinner

I can recommend it as truly mouth watering!

4. Add carrot and continue to cook

5. Mix fish sauce, coconut aminos and maple syrup in a jug

9. Serve in a lettuce leaf with bean shoots.

Note

Most recipes suggest trimmed iceberg lettuce leaves for this dish. I prefer to use baby coz lettuce leaves. I find that they need no trimming and are much more manageable if you like to pick the lettuce parcel up. I love lettuce and the added bonus is that you get to have heaps more crisp crunchy lettuce leaves because coz takes much less filling
