Ingredients

1 head fresh iceburg lettuce

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 thumb-size piece galangal (or ginger), grated

1 red chilli, de-seeded and finely sliced

2 shallots, sliced finely

1/2 cup firm tofu, cut into medium long size or 1/2 cup cooked chicken

2 Tbsp. oil for stir-frying

1 carrot, grated

4-5 shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced

1 egg

1/2 cup shredded cabbage (red is very good, but any type will work)

3 spring onions, sliced lengthwise

2 cups brean sprouts

2 Tbsp. lime juice

2 Tbsp. regular soy sauce

2 Tbsp. fish sauce

1 Tbsp. oyster sauce

TOPPING:

1 cup fresh basil, chopped

1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts, chopped

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.

Add a Tbsp. water whenever the wok/pan gets too dry instead of more oil.

Add tofu or meat, carrot, shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, and spring onions.

As 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 well. Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry briefly . Remove from heat.

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..

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.)
