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.

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.

SPICY STEAK SALAD WRAPS



Spicy Steak Salad Wraps image

Corn nuts are lovable for many reasons, but their primary role here is to add salt, crunch, and sweet toasty flavors to each bite. Corn chips, Fritos, or even kettle-style potato chips would be excellent understudies should the need for a different option arise.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 1/4 tsp. sugar
3 Tbsp. adobo (from a can of chipotles in adobo), divided
3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice, divided
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 lb. skirt steak, cut crosswise into 3 equal pieces
3/4 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 small or 1 large head of iceberg lettuce, leaves separated, covered, chilled
6 radishes, trimmed, thinly sliced, covered, chilled
Cilantro leaves with tender stems and lime wedges (for serving)
1/2 cup lightly crushed corn nuts

Steps:

  • Whisk garlic, sugar, 2 Tbsp. adobo, 2 Tbsp. lime juice, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl to combine. Season steak with salt and pepper and place in a large resealable plastic bag; add marinade. Seal bag and massage steak to coat. Let sit at room temperature 15 minutes, or chill, turning bag occasionally, up to 4 hours.
  • Whisk yogurt, remaining 1 Tbsp. adobo, remaining 1 Tbsp. lime juice, and 3/4 tsp. salt in a small bowl; set aside for serving.
  • Remove steak from marinade, allowing any excess to drip back into bag, and lightly pat dry with paper towels. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high until just beginning to smoke. Cook steak, turning occasionally, until deeply browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130°F for medium-rare, 4-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  • Arrange steak, lettuce, radishes, cilantro, and lime wedges on a platter or a couple of plates so that each component is visible and easily accessible. Place corn nuts in a small bowl. Serve with reserved spicy yogurt for spooning into wraps.

Tips:

  • For a spicier wrap, use a hotter variety of chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • If you don't have any chili powder or cayenne pepper, you can use 1 teaspoon of paprika.
  • To make the wraps ahead of time, assemble them without the dressing and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • When you're ready to serve, add the dressing and enjoy!
  • Serve the wraps with your favorite sides, such as chips, salsa, or guacamole.

Conclusion:

They're also a great way to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. The wraps are packed with protein and veggies, and they're sure to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.
