- little oil, for stir-frying
- 3cm (11/4in) piece ginger, grated

- zest and juice 1 lime
- 2tbsp Thai fish sauce
- 2tbsp palm (or soft brown) sugar

For the dipping sauce:
- 150g (5oz) caster sugar
- 150ml (1/4pt) rice vinegar

Stir for a few minutes, then add the ginger, lemongrass, chillies, lime zest and juice, fish sauce and palm sugar. Stir-fry until the chicken and prawns are cooked through and all the flavours are well combined.
- To serve, put the chicken mix into a bowl. On a platter, add sprigs of coriander and mint, the lettuce leaves and bowls of dipping sauce. Simply add some chicken to a lettuce leaf with a sprig each of mint and coriander, then roll up and dip into the sauce.
