So glad you enjoyed it, and that sauce sounds amazing! Love the idea of pairing it with the Kung Pao Shrimp next time.

Hi Wei,
I shall never see Lettuce the same again.
What a delightfully simple way to brighten up what can be a very dull vegetable.
The only change I made was to add a tsp of homemade Habanero and Papaya sauce. I had just cooked your Kung Pao Shrimp recipe and got this email from you as I logged on to comment on the Kung Pao Shrimp. Hence the need for more chilli.
The two would pair well next time I think.

Thankyou,
Paul:-)

My pleasure Ann! I usually toss the lettuce in the colander with a pair of chopsticks to remove any excess water.

In reply to Ann.

I made it and it was delicious. It’s such a treat to find something for which I always have the ingredients, is simple, and that I could have been cooking forever but never realized. This is a truly great recipe for me to add to my repertoire.
My husband wouldn’t even try it! Just the idea of cooked lettuce freaked him out. More for me.
I had trouble straining the lettuce. I need to find a way to get more of the water off. The residual water on the lettuce made the sauce watery. I might try different ways to get more water off, like fishing the lettuce out with tongs and then draining in the colander, or maybe giving the lettuce a turn in the salad spinner. I don’t want it to be too dry, though, because having a little bit of water would be good.
Anyway, I’m really excited to have found this recipe, thanks.
