Steps:
- Sauce: Place water and cornflour OR rice powder into a small bowl. Mix into a slurry. Add lime juice, fish sauce and sugar and mix to combine. Set aside.
- Heat peanut oil in a wok (or heavy based fry pan) over medium high heat. Add ginger, garlic, lemongrass and chilli and sauté for 45 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn, it will taste bitter.
- Add the chicken and turn up the heat to high. Cook the chicken, breaking up the mince into small pieces.
- Once the chicken turns white and is almost cooked through (about 3 to 4 minutes), add Sauce. Cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute to coat the chicken and for the sauce to thicken.
- Remove wok from heat. Stir through onion, coriander/cilantro and mint.
- Spoon filling into a bowl, and serve with lettuce, peanuts, extra herbs and lime wedges on the side - leave everyone to make their own. Spoon filling into lettuce cups and garnish with what you want!
- Sauce option: Take it over the top by serving with Thai Peanut Satay Sauce, as pictured in the first photo in post! It's extra amazing (though not traditional!)

Steps:
- Cover the eggs with about an inch of water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 8 minutes. Drain and submerge in ice water. When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs and chop.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble into bite-size pieces.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest and juice, celery, reserved tuna oil, three-quarters of the scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Add the tuna and three-quarters of the bacon and egg and gently fold together (do not overmix). Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Sprinkle the tomato slices with salt and pepper.
- Double-up the lettuce leaves and fill each with some tuna salad. Tuck in a tomato slice. Sprinkle with reserved scallions, bacon and egg.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the sweet chili sauce and coconut milk.
- Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Brush 1 tablespoon of chili sauce mixture on the salmon; reserve the remaining sauce for serving. Roast the salmon until firm and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and dice the mango into 1/2-inch pieces. Dice the bell pepper into 1/4-inch pieces. Slice the mint leaves into thin strips. Divide the mango, bell pepper, mint, bean sprouts, and peanuts and lettuce leaves between individual bowls or plates for serving.
- Once the salmon is cooked, use a fork to flake apart the flesh. Divide between the plates or bowls; let diners build their own lettuce cups with the lettuce leaves.
LETTUCE CUPS WITH TOFU AND BEEF
Steps:
- In a bowl, whisk together chili-garlic sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, vinegar and sherry.
- Slice the tofu into 1/2-inch thick slabs and lay the slices on top of paper towels. Use more paper towels to firmly pat the tofu in order to remove as much water as possible. This should take about 2 minutes and use about 3 paper towels. Finely mince dried tofu and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a wok or extra-large skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger and scallion whites and cook until scallion whites are translucent and ginger is fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add ground beef and tofu and cook, stirring, until beef is opaque and just cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add reserved sauce. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Add water chestnuts and stir to incorporate.
- Fill each lettuce leaf with the filling. Serve garnished with scallion greens, red peppers and peanuts.

Steps:
- Mix together the bell peppers and rice wine vinegar and marinate for 1 hour and up to a day in the refrigerator.
- In a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium heat, add the vegetable and sesame oils. Add the shallots, garlic and ginger and saute for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Add the tofu by crumbling into small pieces and saute for 15 minutes more.
- In the meantime, whisk together the hot sauce, salt, fish sauce, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and hoisin and add to the tofu. Cook until the sauce thickens, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the chopped Thai basil. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
- To serve, spoon the tofu mixture onto a piece of lettuce and top with the marinated peppers, cashews, scallions, the chiffonade Thai basil and a couple dots of plum sauce. For more heat, add a few drops of hot sauce.
CHOPPED SALAD IN LETTUCE CUPS
Now, I can make many different versions of salads to put into these lettuce cups. From ... Cobb, Mediterranean, chopped, traditional, lettuce tomato, onion ... or you can make a all vegetable salad, a Mexican black bean and corn salad, fruit salad, chicken, shrimp or crab salad. The method is the same. But I love serving these at dinner parties. My last one I served a version of a caesar salad and put them in lettuce cups and served at a dinner party. They were a big hit. So, my favorite is a simple chopped salad, I love the traditional version for this.

Steps:
- Dressing -- Add all the ingredients and mix well. Just set to the side.
- Salad -- In a large bowl add all the ingredients and toss well. Now remember -- you can add anything, these are just my favorites. Make IT YOUR salad. I just like to chop well so it is easy to fit into the lettuce leaves.
- Toss and Fill -- I just like to toss the chopped salad with a little of the dressing, not too heavy and then fill into the lettuce leaves. My favorite is radicchio or bibb, but you can use any type of leaf you want. You can also secure the leaf with a tooth pic too which is fun and then serve small cups of extra dressing on the side.
- Now if you are a buttermilk type dressing by all means, or a balsamic dressing. You can really use your favorites here. It is more the method and the technique which just makes it really fun to serve at parties. Just have fun with them.
