Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |

| 2 | tablespoons | Sugar |
| 2 | tablespoons | Vinegar |
| 1 | tablespoon | Soy sauce |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |

Directions
1. Separate lettuce leaves. Parboil to soften slightly (2 to 3 minutes).
2. Roll each leaf up tightly; then cut in 1-inch sections. (If leaves are wide and unwieldy, cut in half lengthwise first.) Place in a shallow bowl.
3. Combine sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, salt and Tabasco Sauce. Heat oil.
Add sugar-vinegar mixture, stirring quickly to dissolve sugar. Pour over lettuce at once.
4. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature. Then refrigerate, covered, overnight.
VARIATION: For the Chinese lettuce, substitute round white cabbage.
