Thai Pork Lettuce Wraps

This is such a simple recipe!! Also, so delicious and one of my favs! My 10 year old helped make this recipe. He also said, “tomorrow can we make a harder meal”. Listen. If a 10 year old thinks it’s easy….

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs ground pork
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 small shallots, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • Juice of one lime
  • 2 Tbsp Asian fish sauce
  • 1 tsp light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Sriracha
  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mint, chopped
  • 1/2 cup basil, chopped
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 head Boston or other leafy lettuce, leaves separated

Directions:

In a bowl, mix the pork, garlic, shallots and jalapeño.

In a small bowl, whisk the lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar and Sriracha.

In a skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the pork mixture, stirring to break up the meat until no pink remains. Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice mixture. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Transfer the meat to a bowl; stir in the herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges, Sriracha and lettuce for wrapping.
