Calories: 121kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely grated ginger
  • 1 small spring onion chopped finely
  • 250 g chicken mince
  • 1/4 cup small mint leaves
  • 4 large butter lettuce leaves

Instructions

  • Combine the honey, soy and grated ginger in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Heat sesame oil in a frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add garlic and spring onion and cook for 2-3 minutes or until spring onion is translucent.
  • Add chicken mince and cook for 5-6 mins or until brown.
  • Add the honey soy mixture to the chicken at the last minute and stir to combine.
  • Divide chicken mixture evenly among lettuce leaves. Sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve.

Notes

  • You might like to add some extra vegetables such as bean sprouts, carrot (cut into matchsticks) or capsicum to the lettuce cups before serving.
  • This recipe also works well with pork mince.
  • Portion the mince into 1 cup containers and take to work with lettuce leaves for lunch the next day.
  • If you're feeding others, 2 bariatric serves are equal to one regular, non-sleeved serve. Use the slider above to adjust the serving sizes you need.
