Introduction
The Chinese have been cooking lettuce for as long as they’ve been flying kites. Dadwould often serve lettuce with oyster sauce in the restaurant and it is one of myfavourite dishes. I’ve used prawns in my version and, to create a more rounded meal, I’ve added noodles. This is a very simple dish and I promise you that whomever you serve it to will imagine you’ve been cooking for years.
