Ginger Pork Lettuce Wraps image

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..

These lettuce wraps are a great way to use up leftover pork. I made a big batch of pulled pork on the weekend and used the leftovers to make these wraps for dinner. They were delicious!
