Asian Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients:
Directions:
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 package mushrooms, chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- dash of sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- fresh garlic and/or ginger
- 2-3 cups cooked white rice
- big lettuce leaves
- green onions/scallions
Directions:
- Heat a big skillet over medium-high heat, add a swirl of vegetable il, dump in the pork, sprinkle over a couple pinches of salt and black pepper, and brown the pork. Once cooked, dump the meat on a plate covered with a couple of paper towels to drain the fat, but leave the hot pan as is.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan (you might need a little extra oil). Once they're done, add a little salt, and dump in the cooked pork.
- To make the sauce, mix the soy sauce, water, sugar, and cornstarch. If you have them, add freshly chopped ginger and/or garlic. Stir the sauce into the mushroom meat mixture, and let the sauce bubble.
- To serve, pile the filling, rice, and lettuce on big plates and put them in the middle of the table. Add a plate of chopped green onions as well. To assemble the wraps, put some rice into a lettuce leaf, filling next, and then any extra flavors you like. Everything stays together the best in that order.
