Gave a crack at making my first Asian inspired dish… lettuce wraps! It’s one item I love to order when they’re on the menu, and I had to give them a try on my own.
I fiddled with a lot of ingredients, but here is what I felt worked best for a simple taste that was satisfying for the whole family!
Ginger Soy Pork Lettuce Wraps
1 lb. Ground Pork
2 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 Medium Yellow Onion, chopped
Pinch of Freshly Ground Pepper
2 tbsp. Fresh Grated Ginger
1/4 cup Low Sodium Soy
2 tbsp. White Vinegar
2 Large Carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 Cucumber, peeled and cut into strips
Boston Lettuce, or Iceberg Lettuce, large leaves that are easy to cup the filling
Ginger Soy Sauce:
In a bowl whisk together the soy, ginger and vinegar. Set aside. 
In a large skillet over medium heat, sweat the garlic and onions.
Then add the ground pork. Breaking up the meat with a spoon.
Brown the meat completely.
Add two tablespoons of the ginger soy sauce and pepper, mix well. Remove from heat.
To assemble:
Place a few slivers of carrots and cucumbers to the bottom of a lettuce leaf cup, then top with pork.
Spoon a few drizzles of the remaining sauce on top.
Roll before eating, and enjoy!
