How to Make

  • Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of the sugar with the vegetable broth and garlic. Stir to mix well.

  • Step 2: In a wok, heat the vegetable oil over high heat.

  • Step 3: Add the leeks and ginger and cook until the leeks start to soften, about 2 minutes.

  • Step 4: Add the carrot, shiitake mushrooms, bell pepper, and cucumber.

  • Step 5: Cook, stirring frequently, until the carrot is tender but still firm, about 5 minutes.

  • Step 6: Reduce the heat to medium-low.

  • Step 7: Add the bean sprouts and snow peas, then immediately stir in the reserved sauce.

  • Step 8: Cover and cook just until the sprouts are slightly wilted, about 1 minute.

  • Step 9: In a small attractive bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sugar with the lime juice and hot oil.

  • Step 10: Stir to dissolve the sugar. Serve the vegetables on one platter and the lettuce, dipping sauce, and lime wedges on another.

  • Step 11: To eat, place a small amount of the vegetable stir-fry in a large lettuce leaf; top with mint, then wrap.

  • Step 12: Dip in the sauce and eat.
