Method

Mix the sweet chilli sauce, fish sauce and the lime juice in a medium bowl.
Shred 1 little gem lettuce, finely dice the cucumber and carrot, then add to the bowl with the beansprouts and coriander. Toss together.
Pull the leaves off 3 baby gem lettuces (you’ll need 22 pieces), fill with the salad and arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle with lime juice if you like.
