Ginger Pork Lettuce Wraps image

When I make Asian-spiced lettuce wraps with lean ground pork, I remind my family they're meant to be an appetizer-but maybe I should just call it supper. -Mary Kisinger, Medicine Hat, Alberta

I'm not sure why, but my wraps didn't turn out as good as the ones in the picture. The filling was a little dry and the lettuce cups were kind of soggy.

These wraps are a great way to use up leftover pork. I always have some leftover pork after I make a pork roast, and these wraps are a great way to use it up.

I had some trouble finding hoisin sauce at my local grocery store. I ended up using a teriyaki sauce instead and it worked out just fine.

These wraps were a little too bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

These wraps are so versatile. You can use any type of protein or vegetables that you like. I've even made them with tofu and they were delicious.

I'm not a big fan of pork, but these wraps were surprisingly delicious. The ginger and hoisin sauce really elevated the flavor of the pork.

These wraps were a little too spicy for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I'll try making them again with less ginger next time.
