Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups white rice
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Sriracha (Asian chile sauce), plus more for drizzling
1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled ginger
1 large pork tenderloin (about 1 1/4 pounds), halved lengthwise
2 carrots, diced
1/2 English cucumber, diced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus wedges for serving
2 teaspoons packed light brown sugar
12 large Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves
Chopped fresh cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Combine the rice and 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook until most of the water is absorbed, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low; cover and continue cooking until all of the water is absorbed, about 12 more minutes. Uncover and transfer to a large bowl to cool slightly.
  • Preheat a large grill pan or grill over medium heat and brush with oil. Combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the vegetable oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha and 1 teaspoon ginger in a bowl; rub all over the pork. Transfer the pork to the grill pan; cook about 8 minutes per side for medium doneness. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes; thinly slice.
  • Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha and teaspoon ginger into the rice. Add the carrots, cucumber, lime juice and brown sugar and toss. Serve the rice and pork in the lettuce leaves; top with cilantro and drizzle with more Sriracha. Serve with lime wedges.

I'm not a big fan of lettuce wraps, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The pork was tender and juicy, and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

I made these lettuce wraps for my vegan friend and she loved them! I used tofu instead of pork and it worked out great.

I had some trouble finding hoisin sauce at my local grocery store, but I was able to find it online. It was worth the effort, because the sauce really made these lettuce wraps special.

These lettuce wraps were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I will use less chili sauce.
