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.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (from about 1/2-inch piece)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 medium carrot, grated or julienned
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound ground pork
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cloves garlic, minced
One 1 1/2-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely grated (about 1 tablespoon)
1 shallot, minced
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 head Bibb, butter or iceberg lettuce, separated into leaves
Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
Fresh mint leaves, for serving
1/2 cup roasted salted peanuts, chopped

Steps:

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Lettuce: Use a sturdy lettuce that can hold up to the filling, such as romaine or butter lettuce.
  • Cook the Chicken Sausage Thoroughly: Make sure the chicken sausage is cooked through before assembling the wraps. You can check this by using a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Drain the Chicken Sausage: After cooking the chicken sausage, drain it on paper towels to remove excess grease.
  • Shred the Cabbage Finely: Shred the cabbage finely so that it's easy to eat in the wraps.
  • Use a Variety of Toppings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings, such as avocado, salsa, or sour cream.
