SPICY PORK LOIN AND LETTUCE WRAPS



Spicy Pork Loin and Lettuce Wraps image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pieces (about 2 pounds) pork tenderloin, trimmed of silver skin
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons freshly grated ginger, skin on
6 scallions, minced, green and white parts both
36 to 40 medium to large Bibb lettuce leaves
1 small Fresno chili, thinly sliced
12 stems cilantro (about 1/2 cup leaves), stemmed

Steps:

  • Cook the pork: Season the pork all over with the salt, then sift the paprika through a fine mesh sieve over the pork. Heat a cast iron skillet large enough to hold the pork. Add the oil and when it begins to smoke lightly, use a pair of metal tongs to place the pork into the hot oil. Cook over high heat, turning the pork often, browning on all sides, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F in the thickest part of the tenderloin, about 15 minutes total (if you like a little more "done", cook a few minutes longer on each side). Remove the pork and allow it to "rest" on a flat surface. If you like a little more "done", cook a few minutes longer on each side.
  • Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, honey, fish sauce, and ginger. Add the scallions. Taste for seasoning. Set aside.
  • Assemble the wraps: On a large serving platter, arrange "cups" of lettuce leaves, 2 to 3 layers of lettuce per cup. Form the cups with one leaf inside another with the lettuce spines stacked on top of the other.
  • Slice the pork into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Top each lettuce cup with 3 or 4 slices of pork. Season the pork with a little more salt, then top with the chiles. Drizzle the meat with some of the sauce. Top with the cilantro leaves. Top with more sauce if you like.

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

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
Sriracha, for serving

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.

Crispy Pork Lettuce Wraps With Spicy Cucumbers image

Pork belly's back! Ask your butcher for a square piece: It'll make for even slices and a good fat-to-meat ratio.

Provided by Alison Roman

Yield 2 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (12-ounce) piece skin-on pork belly (about 4x3 1/2x1 1/4")
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons light brown sugar, divided
4 chiles de árbol
2 star anise pods
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 Persian or kirby cucumbers, thinly sliced
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 red chile (such as Fresno or jalapeño), thinly sliced
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
3 tablespoons white miso
1 small head of lettuce (such as Little Gem or romaine hearts), torn
1/2 bunch mint
1/2 cup kimchi (optional)
Gochujang, a mixture of miso and hot chiles, is available at Korean markets and online.

Steps:

  • Diagonally score fat side of pork belly, cutting through fat but stopping at flesh and spacing about 1/4" apart. Season pork with salt and pepper and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and let sit at least 2 hours, or chill up to 2 days.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Unwrap pork and place in the smallest baking dish you can. Add chiles de árbol, star anise, soy sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 1/4 cups water. Roast until most of fat has rendered, meat is tender, and top is browned and crisp, 2-2 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, toss cucumbers, scallions, red chile, and vinegar in a small bowl to combine. Mix gochujang and miso in another small bowl.
  • Transfer pork to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes. Pour off pan juices into a measuring glass. Skim fat from surface.
  • Slice pork into 1/2" slices, transfer to a platter, and pour pan juices over. Serve with lettuce for wrapping and cucumber salad, mint, kimchi (if using), and gochugang-miso mixture for topping.

this recipe is adapted from the march 2005 food and wine magazine. easy and tasty, 2 requirements to weeknight dinners. i served this as an appetizer, but i guess it could be a light lunch too.

SPICY THAI-STYLE LETTUCE WRAPS



Spicy Thai-Style Lettuce Wraps image

Any leftover pulled or shredded meat--think rotisserie chicken or pulled pork--would work in these quick and flavorful wraps.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Brisket Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 medium carrots
2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 Thai red chile, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
Coarse salt
Bibb lettuce leaves, separated
Warm shredded Wine-Braised Brisket
Cucumber slices, for serving
Fresh basil leaves, for serving
Hoisin sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Shave carrots into ribbons with a peeler. Toss together in a bowl with vinegar, lime juice, chile, and sugar. Season with salt. Assemble wraps by filling lettuce leaves with carrot mixture, brisket, cucumber slices, basil, and hoisin sauce.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Use Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger is essential for this recipe. It provides a bright, spicy flavor that can't be replicated with ground ginger.
  • Don't Overcook the Pork: Pork is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it just until it is cooked through, or it will become tough and dry.
  • Use High-Quality Lettuce Leaves: The lettuce leaves are the foundation of these wraps, so it's important to use high-quality leaves that are fresh and crisp.
  • Serve Immediately: These wraps are best served immediately after they are made. The lettuce leaves will wilt if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

These spicy ginger pork in lettuce leaves wraps are a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. The pork is tender and flavorful, the lettuce leaves are crisp and refreshing, and the spicy ginger sauce adds a delicious kick. This recipe is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. Serve them with a side of rice or noodles for a complete meal.
