1.Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the mushroom; cook, stirring, until it starts to soften. Add the onion and garlic. After a few minutes, the mushrooms will release quite a lot of liquid. It is important to keep cooking them until most of that liquid evaporates again.

2.Once the mushroom mixture is fairly dry, add the bamboo shoots, water chestnuts and sauces. Combine the cornflour and the water in a small bowl until smooth; stir into the mushroom mixture. Cook, stirring, until the mushroom mixture is glossy and heated through.

3.To serve, place spoonfuls of mushroom mixture into the lettuce leaves. Top with green onion, sprouts, coriander and sesame seeds or fried shallots.

Not suitable to freeze or microwave.
