INSTRUCTIONS
Separate lettuce leaves. Parboil to soften slightly (2 to 3 minutes). 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. 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. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature. Then refrigerate, covered, overnight. VARIATION: For the Chinese lettuce, substitute round white cabbage.
