- 1 ½ pounds ground pork
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- 8 ounces canned water chestnuts drained and chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons ginger paste
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions divided
- 12 lettuce cups
Instructions
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook and crumble the ground pork with the shredded carrots until the meat is no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the water chestnuts, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger paste, rice vinegar, and half of the sliced green onions into the cooked pork. Remove from the heat.
- Spread the lettuce cups out on a platter and divide the meat mixture evenly in the cups. Garnish with remaining green onion and serve.
Notes
- Spicy pork lettuce wraps: stir in a little sriracha or red pepper flakes, as much or as little as you like depending on your desired spice level for a spicy kick.
- Serving alternatives: instead of lettuce cups, serve the meat mixture over your rice of choice or rice noodles and with steamed green beans for a delicious bowl recipe.
- Storage: store leftovers, separate from any lettuce, in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
