Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups white rice
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Sriracha (Asian chile sauce), plus more for drizzling
1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled ginger
1 large pork tenderloin (about 1 1/4 pounds), halved lengthwise
2 carrots, diced
1/2 English cucumber, diced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus wedges for serving
2 teaspoons packed light brown sugar
12 large Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves
Chopped fresh cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Combine the rice and 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook until most of the water is absorbed, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low; cover and continue cooking until all of the water is absorbed, about 12 more minutes. Uncover and transfer to a large bowl to cool slightly.
  • Preheat a large grill pan or grill over medium heat and brush with oil. Combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the vegetable oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha and 1 teaspoon ginger in a bowl; rub all over the pork. Transfer the pork to the grill pan; cook about 8 minutes per side for medium doneness. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes; thinly slice.
  • Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha and teaspoon ginger into the rice. Add the carrots, cucumber, lime juice and brown sugar and toss. Serve the rice and pork in the lettuce leaves; top with cilantro and drizzle with more Sriracha. Serve with lime wedges.

ASIAN GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN LETTUCE WRAPS



Asian Grilled Pork Tenderloin Lettuce Wraps image

I make this on one night, and "Tacos Al Pastor" on the second night because the two recipes share a lot of ingredients, but taste nothing alike. Tacos Al Pastor also requires overnight marinating, so this dish can be made the day the ingredients are purchase, while Tacos Al Pastor marinates for the second night. This recipe is also super healthy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lettuce leaves: Use large, sturdy lettuce leaves that can hold the filling without tearing. Boston Bibb, Butterhead, or Iceberg lettuce are all good options.
  • Prepare the lettuce leaves in advance: Wash and dry the lettuce leaves well. If the leaves are too big, cut them in half or thirds.
  • Make sure the filling is cold: The filling should be cold before assembling the wraps. This will help prevent the lettuce leaves from wilting.
  • Use your hands to assemble the wraps: The best way to assemble the wraps is with your hands. This will help you get a good feel for the amount of filling to use and how tightly to wrap the leaves.
  • Serve the wraps immediately: Lettuce wraps are best served immediately after they are assembled. If you need to make them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Pork lettuce wraps are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect pork lettuce wraps every time.
