GINGER PORK LETTUCE WRAPS

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. The meat should be sliced very thin before it's boiled; to make slicing easier, freeze the loin for an hour first. The kimchi, a Korean pickled cabbage is sold in supermarkets and Asian groceries.there are also alot of good recipes here, i recommend recipe #50792 kimchee in a day by sharon 123..

3/4 lb ground pork
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 garlic clove, minced (or 1 tsp. minced garlic)
1 tablespoon crushed ginger (from a jar)
1 tablespoon thai sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork: For the best results, use a lean cut of pork, such as tenderloin or loin chops. These cuts will cook quickly and evenly.
  • Slice the pork thinly: This will help it cook quickly and evenly. You can slice the pork by hand or use a meat slicer.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and rice vinegar will help it to tenderize and add flavor.
  • Cook the pork over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the pork while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Use fresh lettuce leaves: Fresh lettuce leaves will provide a crisp and refreshing contrast to the savory pork filling.
  • Add your favorite toppings: You can add a variety of toppings to your lettuce wraps, such as shredded carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts, or chopped peanuts.

Conclusion:

Ginger pork lettuce wraps are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that everyone will enjoy.
