Char Siu Pork Lettuce Cups image

The Asian influence here in the Hawaiian islands inspired my char siu recipe. It's tasty as is, in a bun, on a lettuce cup or over rice. We make it often so we have leftovers to add to fried rice, ramen and salads. -Karen Naihe, Kamuela, Hawaii

I'm not a big fan of lettuce cups, but I loved this recipe. The pork was so tender and flavorful, and the hoisin sauce was the perfect complement.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and herbs to the pork marinade, and it turned out much better.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The pork was tough and the lettuce cups were soggy. I won't be making this again.

These lettuce cups were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use a milder chili sauce.
