Cooking Steps

1

• Thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. • In a medium bowl, combine rice wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Add cucumber to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover cucumber and set aside. TIP: Slicing the cucumber very thinly helps it pickle faster!

2

• Finely chop garlic. • Trim end of cos lettuce and separate leaves. Grate zucchini and carrot. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Add carrot and zucchini and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce and a splash of water.

3

• To pan with veggies, add chicken mince and cook breaking up with spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic and ginger paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove from heat, stir in hoisin sauce mixture, until combined.

4

• Drain pickled cucumber. Bring everything to the table. • Spoon chicken mince filling into each lettuce cup. • Top with pickled cucumber and crushed peanuts. • Drizzle over sesame dressing. Enjoy!
