stems and mince mushrooms. Set aside.

the chicken mixture over the top of the noodles. Spoon some of the mixture onto a lettuce
leaf and roll.

Borrowing the flavors of South East Asia, this is a delicious stir-fry of vegetables. For a really
saucy dish to serve over rice or noodles, double the sauce ingredients and the cornstarch mixture.
