Pork San Choy Bau

By Lexi Klaebe February 8, 2018

There's not a lot of cooking fuss when it comes to san choy bau. A quick toss together in a wok and served in lettuce leaf cups, it even saves on dishes. Need something less delicate than a lettuce leaf? Try a flour tortilla!

Ingredients

  • Pork mince - (or beef, turkey or chicken mince), 600g
  • Ginger, minced - 2 teaspoons
  • Garlic, crushed - 2 cloves
  • Kecap manis - 1 tablespoon
  • Soy sauce - 2 teaspoons
  • Spring onions, thinly sliced - 3
  • Lime - 1/2, juiced
  • Bean sprouts - 1 cup
  • Carrots, grated - 2 medium
  • Red capsicum, thinly sliced - 1/2
  • Coriander, chopped - 1/3 cup
  • Peanuts, chopped - 1/4 cup
  • Iceberg lettuce leaves to serve

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium to high heat.

2. Drop the mince, garlic and ginger into the pan. Use a wooden spoon to break up the lumps of meat as it browns for the first few minutes.

3. Add the kecap manis and soy sauce, stir to combine. Add the capsicum, carrot and spring onions, stir to combine and continue to cook until the mince is cooked through, about a further six minutes.

4. Transfer the mince mixture to a bowl. Let everyone spoon their own mince into their lettuce cups, top with coriander and peanuts. Wrap and eat - simple and delicious!
