Skip the tortillas tonight and head straight for the crisper. Each bite of these lettuce wraps is match of perfect textures.
Ingredients
1 tsp canola oil
454 g ground pork
2 shallots, finely chopped
3 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp hot-red-chili-flakes
1 head iceberg lettuce
2 cups long-grain white rice
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
HEAT oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add pork and shallots. Cook, stirring often, until no pink remains, 4 to 5 min. Stir in lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar and hot-red-chili flakes. Cook until liquid has reduced slightly, 2 to 3 min.
SEPARATE 8 leaves from the head of iceberg lettuce to make lettuce cups. Divide cooked rice evenly among lettuce cups, then top with pork mixture and sprinkle with cilantro.
