    2 tbsp groundnut oil
    3 shallots, finely sliced

    finely grated
    500g skinless chicken thigh fillets, finely chopped 
    100g radishes, finely sliced

    ½ x 28g pack coriander, leaves roughly chopped
    few sprigs mint, leaves picked and chopped 
    40g roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
     

    Method

    1. To make the dressing, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice and sugar in a bowl; season, then set aside. 

    2. Set a large frying pan or wok over a medium heat and pour in the oil. When hot, add the shallots, chilli, garlic and ginger. Fry for 1-2 minutes until starting to soften, then add the chicken. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until thoroughly cooked, the juices run clear and there is no pink meat, then remove from the heat. Stir the dressing and radishes through the chicken. 

    3. Trim the lettuces and separate the leaves. Fill each little gem leaf ‘boat’ with a spoonful of the meat and radish mixture, then top with some herbs and peanuts. Alternatively, serve everything separately and let people help themselves, building their own ‘boats’. Serve with extra lime wedges and sriracha or sweet chilli sauce, if liked.
