• Grate the carrot. Finely chop celery and garlic. Trim the end of cos lettuce, then separate the leaves.

Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add celery and carrot and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from heat, then add ssamjang paste, oyster sauce, the brown sugar, a drizzle of sesame oil and the water. Stir to combine.
