How To Make Chili Beef Lettuce Wrap Recipe?

1. Fry the Mince: Heat a little olive oil in a pan. Mix and season the beef and pork. Fry for 5–7 minutes until crispy and brown. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Aromatics: Wipe the pan, and add sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and chili. Fry for 2 minutes.
3. Combine: Add the drained mince back into the pan. Stir in fish sauce, lime zest, and juice. Add spring onions and cook for 30 seconds.
4. Make the Dressing: Mix all the dressing ingredients.
5. Assemble: Spoon the mince into lettuce leaves, drizzle with dressing, and serve.

Recipe Tips:

• Drain the Mince Well: After frying the meat, drain it to keep it crispy and improve texture.
• Adjust the Spice: Use 1 chilli for mild or 2 for extra heat. Removing seeds reduces the spice.
• Use Fresh Lettuce: Choose fresh, crunchy lettuce to hold the filling better.
• Taste the Dressing: Adjust the fish sauce and lime juice for your taste. Add more sugar if you like it sweeter.
• Don’t Overcook the Mince: Fry the meat until crispy, but don’t overcook. It should be browned, not dry.

How To Store Leftovers?

Let the leftovers cool to room temperature, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
