BERGY DIM SUM #1, PORK & LETTUCE ROLLS
This is great served as an appetizer or part of a Dim Sum brunch. Over the next few weeks I will be submitting other recipes suitable for Dim Sum. I will name and number them "Bergy Dim Sum 1, 2 etc." Many of the recipes will be freezer friendly so it is easy on the hostess (host) on the day of the brunch Edited 13 Dec 03 It has been a while since I made this recipe and found it was a bit light in the taste so I added 3/4 tsp hot chili flakes and 2 tbsp Schezwan sauce - just right for me. Do what the recipe says the first time and then you can spice it up. Do not mince the chestnuts, shoots & crab too fine you want a bit of crunch left.

- Put unsifted flour in a bowl.
- Pour in all the boiling water at once stirring with the handle of a wooden spoon (or use your mixer with the bread paddle mix and knead for 5 minutes).
- When the dough is cool enough to handle knead for 10 minutes (this step is not necessary if you used your mixer).

SPICY PORK LETTUCE WRAPS
These lettuce cups filled with spicy ground pork take inspiration from Larb. Found in several Southeast Asian countries, Larb usually features seasoned ground meat served with sticky rice or lettuce cups, topped with fresh vegetables and herbs. Toasted rice powder is typically mixed into the seasoning for some crunch and to help thicken the dressing. Katie opts for ground peanuts instead to achieve a similar texture and nutty flavor. These can also be made with ground chicken, duck, turkey, or crumbled tofu in place of the ground pork. Fresh and flavorful, these lettuce cups are super easy to make at home any night of the week.

Steps:
- For the scallion and carrot relish: Toss the soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, carrots, scallions and lime juice in a medium bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- For the pork: Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, and once hot, the pork. Cook the pork, breaking it up with the back of your spoon until it browns and is no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes, salt, garlic, ginger and shallots. Cook until they are aromatic and incorporated, another minute. Add the hoisin and stir to combine, then add the soy sauce. Cook until the pork is sticky and glazed, about 3 minutes. Transfer the pork to a serving bowl.
- Serve the pork with the lettuce leaves, some scallion and carrot relish, cilantro leaves, mint leaves, peanuts and sriracha, letting everyone build their own wraps with all the fixings.

Steps:
- Mix the pork, garlic and parsley together, you can add more garlic and or parsley and ground pepper to your taste. I buy the wrappers that are about 4in x 4in.
- Take about a tablespoon and a half lay it on the egg roll and roll according to package direction.
- When you get to the end of wrapping wet the tip of your finger and wet the corner of the wrapper and close. This should keep the roll closed.
- Let your oil heat and place the roll in the oil until golden brown or you feel that the pork is cook all the way.

SICILIAN STUFFED PORK ROLLS
This is a little labor-intensive, but the end results are well worth it! Buttered penne or shell pasta, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese goes well with the hearty sauce.From a February 1984 issue of Bon Appetit that featured Hearty Winter Entrees.

Tips for Making Pork Lettuce Rolls:
- Choose the right lettuce leaves: Use large, sturdy lettuce leaves that can hold the filling without tearing. Iceberg lettuce and romaine lettuce are both good options.
- Prepare the lettuce leaves properly: Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. Remove the tough center stem from each leaf.
- Make sure the filling is well-seasoned: The filling should be flavorful and well-seasoned. Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a delicious filling.
- Roll the lettuce rolls tightly: Roll the lettuce rolls tightly so that the filling doesn't fall out. If the rolls are too loose, they will be difficult to eat.
- Serve the lettuce rolls immediately: Lettuce rolls are best served immediately after they are made. The lettuce will wilt if the rolls are allowed to sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Pork lettuce rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect pork lettuce rolls that your family and friends will love.
