princesslinda mentioned lettuce wraps and I remembered I had this recipe. I have made it many times and it is as good as any restaurant order - IMO. I serve it with a dipping (fish) sauce. I'll try and find that recipe from a my Thai cookbook.

PS. I love how the program blocked out my dirty shaaaatake mushrooms. :D
