    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-low heat. Gently fry mushrooms for 4-5 minutes, or until just cooked through and quantity reduces by half. Add lentils.

    2 Make a stir-fry sauce by combining soy sauce, fish sauce, ginger and garlic (you can add a little water). Add to lentil and mushroom mix and cook, stirring, until just heated through.

    3 Meanwhile, cook rice noodles according to packet instructions. Drain and cut into short lengths.

    4 Divide the rice noodles among the lettuce cups. Top with lentil and mushroom mix. Garnish with sliced spring onions and chilli.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Check soy and fish sauces are gluten free.

    HFG tip

    You’ll need 1 small or 1/2 large lettuce to get 12 leaves. Cut some of the larger leaves in half to make them more uniform in size.
