How to make it

  1. Rinse the lettuce under running water, drain it and tear it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Put the garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and sugar in a small bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Put the lettuce in a large bowl and pour on the sauce.
  4. Toss gently with chopsticks or tongs for about 10 seconds, so every leaf is coated.
  5. Sprinkle on the chili and sesame seeds, and serve.

Tips

  • Eat within about five minutes of mixing, or it starts to weep water.
  • If raw garlic is too sharp for you, soak the minced garlic in a little of the soy sauce for five minutes first.
  • Add a boiled egg or some tofu and it becomes a proper main dish.
