Vegetable San Choy Bau: Winter lettuce cups

You all know how much I LOVE my lettuce cups :) yes, well it doesn't all stop just because its winter! Vegetable san choy bau is one of my favourite winter dishes to make and the leftovers (if you have any) are perfect to take to work the next day!

I make mine with cauliflower rice, vegetables and tofu, if you don't eat tofu you can leave it out or add another protein such as Fish or Chicken.

Method:

• Prepare all of your vegetables.

• Heat your oil in a large pan or wok. Add the onion, garlic, chilli and ginger and heat until translucent.
