Elise's Eats - Ep 134: San Choy Bau

Welcome to the episode and introduction of the dish.

Gather all ingredients needed for the recipe.

Heat peanut oil in a frying pan.

Add chopped brown onion and brown it.

Add minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until aromatic.

Add pork mince to the pan, cooking on high for about 2-3 minutes until it turns white.

Once the pork is slightly pink, add all the chopped vegetables and cook for another 3-4 minutes on high heat until softened.

In a small bowl, mix corn flour with 1 tablespoon of water until there are no lumps to thicken the sauce.

Add mirin or cooking wine, sesame oil, sugar, soy sauce, and oyster sauce to the corn flour mixture and stir.

After 2-3 minutes of cooking the meat and vegetables, add the sauce mixture to the pan and cook for another 1-2 minutes on high until the sauce becomes glossy and thick.

Prepare the iceberg lettuce by pulling out the inner leaves to use as cups.

Demonstrate a quick way to separate the leaves without breaking them by pinching the base and tearing them off.

Fill the lettuce cups with 2-3 heaped teaspoons (about a quarter cup) of the pork mixture.

Top with roasted peanuts and chili if desired.
