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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality hoisin sauce. A good hoisin sauce will be thick, flavorful, and slightly sweet. Look for a brand that uses real Chinese spices, such as star anise and cloves.
- Don't overcook the pork. The pork should be cooked through, but it should not be dry. Overcooked pork will be tough and chewy.
- Use fresh lettuce leaves. Wilted or brown lettuce leaves will not hold up well to the hoisin sauce and pork. Choose crisp, green lettuce leaves that are free of blemishes.
- Serve the lettuce wraps immediately. Hoisin pork lettuce wraps are best served fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. When you're ready to serve, reheat the pork in a skillet over medium heat until it is warmed through.
