Serves 4-6 as a generous appetizer, or about 3 for a dinner
Ingredients
1/2 onion, minced
3 garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, small dice
3-4 green onions, sliced
1 lb. ground pork
1 tbsp ginger, grated
1 tsp sesame oil
1/4 cup hoisin sauce (or oyster sauce)- could also substitute 1/4 cup soy sauce with 1-2 Tbsp white sugar
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
1-2 tsp Sriracha (optional) plus more for serving
Toasted sesame seeds
Chopped peanuts (optional)
Small Romaine lettuce, but butter lettuce or even cabbage leaves would work
Brown pork over medium high heat, when mostly cooked, drain off the fat. Add the sesame oil, onions, garlic and ginger and cook until the onions start to wilt. Add in chopped celery (you want this to be more crunchy when its done). Add in the hoisin or oyster sauce and taste. If you want it spicy, you may need to add in the Sriracha and/or the red pepper flakes. Add in cilantro (optional) and spoon into a serving bowl. Allow the mixture to cool a bit before serving into the lettuce.
Prep the mini romaine leaves into 'cups' or use cabbage leaf, or butter lettuce.
Put soy sauce, sesame seeds, Sriracha and chopped peanuts on the table for each diner to customize their wrap.I just brought the pork mixture to the table in a bowl and served the lettuce on a plate so that everyone could just make their own at the table. Served with a little sriracha and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. My hubby liked it with a drizzle of soy sauce.
Looks so yummy. Thanks. Pam
