INDIAN-SPICED BEEFY LETTUCE WRAPS



Indian-Spiced Beefy Lettuce Wraps image

Since I love Indian flavors, I almost always have coconut milk, a jar of mango chutney and garam masala seasoning in my pantry. This recipe is one of my go-tos when I am short on time but want something that tastes spectacular. If you'd like to give this a different style of Asian flair, use hoisin sauce in place of chutney and Chinese five-spice powder in place of garam masala. -Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

Delicious and bursting with flavor, Asian lettuce wraps are a great idea for entertaining or a family style meal. Each person can build their own fresh, delicious wrap. Just be sure to have plates or napkins available since the mixture can sometimes drip a little. To serve, allow each person to spoon a portion of the meat into a lettuce leaf. Wrap the lettuce around the meat like a burrito and enjoy!

SPICY PORK LETTUCE WRAPS



Spicy Pork Lettuce Wraps image

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.

Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
Fresh mint leaves, for serving

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.

SPICY ASIAN LETTUCE WRAPS



Spicy Asian Lettuce Wraps image

Originally a Cooking Light recipe, these wraps are great as a festive appetizer or a simple supper. I've added a few ingredients according to my own taste, and these are a hit every time I make them. Great for a dinner if you're short on time (or trying to beat the heat in the kitchen in the summer). Serve with a simple salad and a spicy dipping sauce! You can also replace the chicken with cubed tofu or cooked pork--I've had good luck with both!
