​I love meals we can eat together as a family and all enjoy. This is another of my favourites to hide veggies in.  We love chicken, but try it with different meats (pork, beef, chicken) – or a mix of meats if you like.
My kids like to not see the veggies in their mince – so I chop them finely.  If your kids aren’t as fussy as mine, julienne the carrots and slice the mushrooms and add them in when you add the tamari etc .  Beansprouts are also great added in at the end for extra crunch.  
This is a great way to get lettuce into kids by making it fun - you can also serve on brown rice.
Any leftovers are great for lunch the next day, for lunchboxes I roll them up into rice paper rolls to make them easy to eat.


Ingredients
  • 1-2 carrots (roughly chopped)
  • handful of coriander leaves
  • 1 stick of celery (I've also used bok choy, beans or snow peas if I'm out of celery!)
  • 5-6 shitake mushroom (fresh – sliced) or dried – about 1/3 cup and soak for 10 mins
  • 1 brown onion (halved)
  • 2 cloves of garlic (peeled)
  • 3 cm piece of ginger, peeled
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 500g chicken mince, beef or pork mince  (mince yourself in Thermomix –  Partially frozen - 300g at a time speed 6 for 6-7 seconds, check consistency & repeat for a 2-3 more seconds if needed)
  • 1 tin (230g) water chestnuts (not essential but add a good crunch – if you need to hide – add them in when you add celery etc)
  • 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of tamari or shoyu
  • 2 baby cos hearts – break apart to form “boats”, or a cos lettuce broken into "cups" for the meat filling.
  • 1-2 tablespoons of sesame seeds for sprinkling
    ​
