Teriyaki beef lettuce cups offer a sophisticated blend of textures and flavours in this stunning dish. The thinly sliced sirloin steak is marinated in rich and flavourful teriyaki sauce and is tender and juicy. Light, slippery glass noodles absorb the teriyaki sauce, resulting in an explosion of flavour in every bite. Served in crisp, fresh lettuce leaves, each cup is a treasure trove of delights, with minced ginger and green onions adding a burst of flavour and a hint of spice. Julienned carrots add vibrant colour and natural sweetness, creating an ideal balance with the succulent beef. This fun dish is a creative and elegant twist on a classic that will delight your tastebuds.
