    These can also be served with a store-bought spicy peanut sauce.

  • We recommend Bibb lettuce for this recipe because of its sturdiness.

  • 3  tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1  tablespoon chopped fresh mint
  • 2  tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • 3  tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 2  teaspoons garlic and red chile paste
  • 1  teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2  teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1  cup shredded carrots
  • 1/3  cup chopped salted peanuts
  • 12  medium Bibb lettuce leaves, rinsed, patted dry with paper towel

Directions

  1. 1In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook turkey over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain and return to skillet. Stir in green onions, cilantro, mint, lime juice, fish sauce, peanut butter, chile paste, sugar and red pepper flakes. Cook 3 to 4 minutes longer or until hot.

My recipe uses soy sauce and rice vinegar ( no mint) might try that instead of fish sauce.

Fish sauce is very unlike any other thing. It has fermented first in the sun, then in the shades for a year or more in barrels. Difficult to substitute - but try something else that has fermented. OR use a little Ketjap Mani - oriental liquid seasoning, It goes with almost anything and has that thai-ish flavour. ;-)

I have searched high and low for a substitute for fish sauce...any ideas? I'm severely allergic to fish and seafood. I sure miss Thai food....:(
