Method

  1. Place a non-stick frying pan on to a medium heat. Add the sesame seed oil, garlic, ginger, chilli and red onion and gently fry for 3-4 minutes.

  2. Then add the pork, peppers and carrots. Break down the pork with a wooden spoon and then place a lid on the pan and leave the vegetables to sweat for 5-10 minutes until soft.

  3. Now add the honey, fish sauce, soy sauce and lime juice and mix well. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes until the mince is cooked through, the vegetables are soft and the sauce has reduced.

  4. Wash the lettuce and chop off the ends and separate out the leaves into 4 cups.

  5. Finally stir the peanuts, mint and coriander into the pork mixture. Fill each lettuce leaf with a spoon of mince and sprinkle with spring onions.
