Asian Lettuce Cups

Ingredients

1 seedless cucumber
1 small head Boston lettuce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 lb ground pork
4 oz pre-sliced baby portabellas
2 tablespoons diced pimientos (drained)
1/4 cup sesame/ginger no-sodium marinade
1/4 cup crispy rice or chow mein noodles (optional)


Prep
  • Cut cucumber in half; cut one-half into 1/4-inch pieces (reserve second half for other use).
  • Separate lettuce leaves into individual “cups.”


Steps
  1. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan, then add pork, mushrooms, and pimientos; brown 5–7 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, or until no pink remains. Drain fat, if needed.
  2. Add marinade to pork mixture; cook and stir 1 minute.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in diced cucumber. Fill each lettuce cup with pork mixture and top with noodles. Roll or fold lettuce around mixture and serve.

Apron's Advice

  • Complete your meal with white rice and cinnamon sugar donuts for dessert.
  • Ground turkey or chicken breast is an excellent low-fat substitute for the ground pork.
