ASIAN GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN LETTUCE WRAPS
I make this on one night, and "Tacos Al Pastor" on the second night because the two recipes share a lot of ingredients, but taste nothing alike. Tacos Al Pastor also requires overnight marinating, so this dish can be made the day the ingredients are purchase, while Tacos Al Pastor marinates for the second night. This recipe is also super healthy.

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..
