Then tonight was a big test! Dinner and a gig, and who doesn't enjoy a good old fashion beer out of a plastic cup when watching live music. Bloc party were awesome! Bopped along happily without an alcoholic beverage, and dinner prior was a bowl of roast veggies and a handful if nuts. There is always options on the menu if u look close enough.

Step 1
Heat half the oil in a wok over high heat until just smoking. Add half the pork mince, lemon grass and chilli and stir-fry, breaking up any lumps, for 3-4 minutes or until pork changes colour. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Repeat with the remaining oil, pork, lemon grass and chilli, reheating the wok between batches. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool slightly.
Step 2
Whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, sweet chilli sauce and lime rind in a small bowl until well combined. Drizzle the pork mixture with the dressing. Add the onion, coriander and mint and stir to combine. Spoon the pork mixture among lettuce leaves and sprinkle with peanuts to serve.
We substituted with coconut oil, no Sweet chilli & added red onion or spring onion. Chicken can be used also.
