Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup green onion
1 sprig rosemary (about 4-6 inches, the whole sprig, no need to break apart or chop)
1 garlic clove
1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated or just a whole chunk)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon slurry (a mix of 1 tablespoon water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch, this will help the mix thicken)
2 cups pulled pork (approximately 1 lb)
2 carrots (julienned)
2 cups purple cabbage (shredded or julienned)
1 head Boston (or "Butter" lettuce, leaves separated)
1/2 cup green onions (chopped (for topping))
1/4 cup cilantro (chopped (for topping))

Steps:

  • Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Then strain after 12 minutes of reducing. Add back into the saucepan over heat.
  • In a separate small sealed container add 1 tablespoon of water with 1 tablespoon cornstarch or flour. Add the "slurry" to the saucepan with the strained sauce. Whisk to combine. Let continue simmering for 8-10 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet heat up the pork on medium heat until warmed. Add 2-4 tablespoons of the sauce to the meat, as desired. Save the remaining sauce for topping your wraps. Remove from heat.
  • Assemble lettuce wraps: Scoop pork mixture into lettuce leaves, and top with your vegetables, onions, and cilantro. Drizzle with more reserved sauce as desired.
