Now, I’m not a big fan of lettuce, so for years I never tried Sang Choy Bow because I thought that is all you could taste.
Imagine my surprise when I did finally taste it – now it is a ‘Friday Night’ food with things like tacos or pizza – and the kids love it! I love food you can eat with your hands!

Spoon into the freshly washed lettuce leaves (or put it on the table and let everyone help themselves) and top with the spring onions to serve.
