Serving Size 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoon oil (olive or avocado)
  • ½ onion (finely diced)
  • 3 teaspoons garlic (crushed)
  • 2 teaspoon ginger (minced)
  • 1 pound ground chicken (500 grams)
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 2 Tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 Tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 head lettuce
  • 1 cucumber thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions (spring onions) thinly sliced
  • 1 chilli (red) thinly sliced
  • 1 handful mint leaves shredded

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger; cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the chicken mince and break it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 4–5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in the coconut sugar, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Don’t stir right away — let it cook for 1–2 minutes so the sugar caramelizes slightly.
  • Stir, then cook again without moving it for another minute or two. This layering gives that glossy, sticky finish.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (add extra soy for salt or sugar for balance).
  • Serve the chicken in lettuce cups with sliced cucumber, green onion, chili, and mint. Eat straight away — hands encouraged!
