San Choy Bau

Serves 6

1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
300g veal or lean beef mince
300g pork mince
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
1 x 230g can water chestnuts, drained, finely chopped
4 green shallots, ends trimmed, finely chopped
1/4 Cup oyster sauce
1/4 Cup soy sauce
100g bean sprouts
Pinch of salt
12 iceberg lettuce leaves, washed, dried

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the veal or beef mince and pork mince. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up any lumps, for 5 minutes or until mince changes colour. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant.

Add the water chestnuts and green shallots and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until combined. Stir in the oyster and soy sauces and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat. Add the bean sprouts and stir until just wilted.

Taste and season with salt, if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Place the lettuce leaves, cup-side up, on a serving platter and serve immediately with the mince mixture.
