Method

step 1

Mix together 2 tbsp of the sesame oil, the lime juice, chilli sauce and fish sauce. Set aside.

Heat the remaining oil in a wok or non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Squeeze the sausagemeat out of the skins and into the pan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and fry for 5-6 mins, or until golden brown. Stir through the curry paste and fry for 1 min. Mix through half the spring onions and half the herbs.
step 3

Arrange the lettuce and cucumber in two bowls, add the sausage mixture and drizzle over the spicy dressing. Finish with the remaining herbs.
