Believe it or not, I don't quite like lettuce on it's own.
I love this website for it's colourful food presentations. Makes me motivated to make more but I don't always eat raw salad coz makes my stomach muscles clench too much. Epicuroius is a magazine from the US which I've not seen here (bah!).
http://www.epicurious.com/tools/searchresults?search=saladYou have more than one choice of salad. Usually, if you leave the salad overnight with fruits, the sugar from the fruit would get into the salad (with no sugar added). Add half a teaspoon of balsamic or wine vinegar to help with this. Lettuce leaves can be left until just before eating - but up to you, leave it overnight and they look a bit blah.
You can put in guava, apples, oranges, grapes, raisins, mangos (even green ones), I suppose banana, papaya, etc. Veggies can include mangkuang (looks very dirty from the earth but actually really nice), sweet potato (not too much but they are healthier than normal potato), taugeh, broccoli, tomato, mushrooms, etc.
It's fun.

Put some water in the wok and heat up until boil. Then add in the meat (water should be about midway but check regularly because the water level may go down). Half cover the wok so that the meat is slightly pressurize.
No oil.
