This dish has its origins in Vietnamese cuisine, but I've adapted and simplified it for my
purposes, so it's not fair to blame it on the Vietnamese.

Preparation
-
Carefully separate the individual leaves from the lettuce. They're used to wrap the other
food in, so they should be intact.
-
Make julienne strips of the vegetables, about 5 to 8 cm long.
-
Chop the herbs coarsely if you like, otherwise just arrange individual leaves on a plate.
-
Blend the sauce ingredients to a purée.
-
Serve components individually. At the table place them in a lettuce leaf, wrap, dip in
the sauce and eat.
