Ingredients
| Iceberg lettuce head | 1 (This Type Works Best For This Recipe) | |
| Garlic | 3 Clove (15 gm), minced | |
| Galangal/Ginger | 1 Inch, grated (Thumb-Size) | |
| Red chili | 1 , finely sliced (Deseeded, Omit Altogether If You Prefer Very Mild Wraps) | |
| Shallots | 2 , finely sliced | |
| Cooked chicken | 1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs), sliced lengthwise into matchstick-like pieces | |
| Carrot | 1 , grated or cut into thin strips | |
| Shiitake mushrooms | 5 , thinly sliced | |
| Egg | 1 | |
| Shredded cabbage | 1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs) (Red Is Very Good, But Any Type Will Work) | |
| Spring onions | 3 , sliced lengthwise into matchstick-like pieces | |
| Bean sprouts | 2 Cup (32 tbs) | |
| Lime juice | 2 Tablespoon | |
| Soy sauce | 2 Tablespoon | |
| Fish sauce | 2 Tablespoon | |
| Oyster sauce | 1 Tablespoon | |
| Fresh basil | 1 Cup (16 tbs), roughly chopped if leaves are large | |
| Dry roasted peanuts | 1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs), roughly chopped | |
| Oil | 2 Tablespoon (For Stir-Frying) |
Directions
Place oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic, galangal (or ginger), chilli, and shallots. Stir-fry one minute, or until fragrant. Stir-frying tip: add a Tbsp. water whenever the wok/pan gets too dry instead of more oil.
Add chicken, carrot, shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, and spring onionsAs you stir-fry, add the lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir-fry about 1 minute.
Push ingredients to the side of the wok or pan, and crack in the egg. Stir-fry the egg quickly, breaking the yolk. Mix in with the other ingredients.
Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry briefly (to mix). Remove from heat and do a taste test for salt, adding 1 Tbsp more fish sauce if not salty enough.
Cut off the stem part of the iceburg lettuce so it's easier to separate the leaves. Now place the lettuce, the sir-fried filling, and the toppings on your table, allowing family or guests to make their own wraps.
To assemble wraps, take a whole lettuce leaf and place 1-2 heaping tablespoons of filling in the center. Top with a sprinkling of fresh basil and peanuts. Then wrap it up and eat. (For those who like it extra spicy, Thai chilli sauce can be added as another topping.)
