Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sea Bass

    Steam or grill the sea bass fillet until cooked through and flaky, about 8-10 minutes. Let it cool slightly before flaking into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Mix the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked sea bass, diced jicama, chopped roasted peanuts, and chopped Thai basil.

  3. 3

    Add Flavoring

    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, chopped red chili, and tamarind paste. Pour this mixture over the sea bass mixture and toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Assemble Lettuce Cups

    Take a butter lettuce leaf and spoon some of the filling onto the center. Fold the sides over and enjoy!
