===Ingredients:===

* 1 head fresh iceberg lettuce (this type works best for this recipe)

* 1 thumb-size piece galangal (or ginger), grated
* 1 red chilli, de-seeded and finely sliced (omit altogether if you prefer very mild wraps)
* 2 shallots, sliced finely
* 1/2 cup firm tofu, cut into "matchsticks" OR 1/2 cup cooked chicken or pork, shredded, OR 1/2 cup cooked baby shrimp
* 1 carrot, grated or cut into thin strips
* 4-5 shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
* 1 egg (omit if vegan)
* 1/2 cup shredded cabbage (red is very good, but any type will work)
* 3 spring onions, sliced lengthwise into matchstick-like pieces
* approx. 2 cups bean sprouts
* 2 Tbsp. lime juice
* 2 Tbsp. regular soy sauce
* 2 Tbsp. fish sauce 
* 1 Tbsp. oyster sauce 
===TOPPING:===
* 1 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped if leaves are large
* 1/2 cup fresh dry roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
* OTHER: 2 Tbsp. oil for stir-frying

===Preparation:===

#Place oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic, galangal (or ginger), chilli, and shallots. Stir-fry one minute, or until fragrant. Stir-frying tip: add a Tbsp. water whenever the wok/pan gets too dry instead of more oil.
#Add tofu (or meat/shrimp), carrot, shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, and spring onions. 
#As you stir-fry, add the lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, and oyster sauce. 
#Stir-fry about 1 minute.
#Push ingredients to the side of the wok or pan, and crack in the egg. 
#Stir-fry the egg quickly, breaking the yolk. 
#Mix in with the other ingredients.
#Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry briefly (to mix)
#Remove from heat and do a taste test for salt, adding 1 Tbsp more fish sauce if not salty enough.
#Cut off the stem part of the iceburg lettuce so it's easier to separate the leaves. 
#Now place the lettuce, the sir-fried filling, and the toppings on your table, allowing family or guests to make their own wraps.
#To assemble wraps, take a whole lettuce leaf and place 1-2 heaping tablespoons of filling in the center. 
#Top with a sprinkling of fresh basil and peanuts. 
#Then wrap it up and eat. 
#(For those who like it extra spicy, Thai chilli sauce can be added as another topping.)
