Hello Food Tubers I am back on the channel and I'm gonna make vegetarian
lettuce cups what I love about these they're a great option for a party canape now I
really wanted to make something vegetarian with loads of flavor so where
else to go in the world than South East Asia now it's all about dressings over
there where the dressing is the main character and brings everything together
the only thing we need to cook in this dish is the noodles now two different
textures of noodles I got the rice noodles we'll cook some up here and it's gonna be garnished with a
nice crispy, crunchy noodle over here these take like 10 seconds once you throw it in
it's pretty much ready this is really hot this oil it's just normal vegetable oil ok
bosh, look at that!
I am gonna start by peeling my veg for this one usually you know if you're grating something you don't really need to
just wash it but I'm gonna make it nice and julienne like little match sticks so I'm going to just quickly
peel them okay so that's that one done, that's a carrot the old mooli is a bit more effort
if you can't get hold of a Japanese radish you can just use just your normal little
red radishes if you like just to get that sort of mustardy peppery flavour now
you got two types of onion obviously the green bit the white bit, the green bit's
always good for garnishing, if you just get like little strips like that, these bad boys now obviously it's rolling
about so you need to get it straight okay? I go down like this
carrot, I would just do it the same, it's the easiest way to show you how to do it so here we go
let's make our dressing here we have a nice bowl
let's go in with a little bit of the old sesame oil alright first of all, what a love- I love that smell
I would say one part sesame oil to two parts soya
and then a little bit of honey it depends how sweet you like it don't overdo it with honey, lovely jubbly
now I'm gonna go for some ginger alright so I'm not going to peel this right there is a tip how to peel
that and jamie's doing that
down there somewhere, if you wanna have a look just click on that
I'm just gonna go really rough cos I just want the juice
so I'm just gonna grate it and then just go, and then that's it, you've got the nice ginger juice going on
a little bit of lime, ok so just go in with the juice, maybe half I'm gonna taste
it first, I'm happy with that so now I can get my vegetables and noodles in there
let's get them all in and then we got the blanched noodles over here bout that much just get them in, once
they go in they'll start separating a bit more so let's just mix everything up see it starts separating
now once you hit the the dressing there so there you go, that's all mixed in lets get some
sprouts so that's crunchy bean sprouts in there
very nice Thai basil because you can see the stalks are quite light, get mint
coriander, last herb in there just give them a little rough chop ok they can go straight in there like that
what I'm gonna do I'm gonna put a few of the nuts through it now and then I'll garnish it after
Okay so let's just get a couple of these right so a few of these inside there now
a few sesame seeds and then we can garnish after okay so let's just have a play around with that
right they're just about done those covered in that lovely dressing that's good you can
pretty much plate them straight up and ready to go out so let's get some of these lovely
leaves I reckon so get the noodles on first with a fork and spoon yeah,
like that like you do with the old spag bol, right and then get one on there like that
I told you that soy sauce didn't I, what happens it gives a real depth just flavour but colour
as well
cool now just for the finishing touches now, look at that, a few sesame seeds on top
Let's get some nuts on
now for the old crispy noodles, look at them
now for the old coriander just to finish it off, I have to just put a little bit of chili on there
It just needs that little bit of red, couple of them on top
Bob's your uncle Fanny's your aunt there we go
right let's pop one in, yep there we go, quite
Mm, there we go, in one waow so much happening there it's like punching its way through my mouth
Really get the herbs straight away, taste the nuts, really strong flavour of the sesame oil coming
through right now
that is definitely a pleaser, wicked brilliant vegetarian option there for canape party if you've got
