Asian-Style Lettuce Cups
4 servings
25 minutes total

Ingredients

  • ½ hothouse cucumber
  • 1 small head butterhead lettuce
  • 2 tablespoons diced pimientos
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 4 oz sliced fresh baby portabella mushrooms
  • ¼ cup refrigerated ginger dressing
  • ¼ cup chow mein noodles (optional)

Steps

    1. Cut cucumber half into ¼-inch cubes; separate lettuce leaves into individual cups. Drain pimientos.
    2. 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, until no pink remains and pork is 160°F. Drain fat if needed.
    3. Add dressing to pan; cook and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in cucumbers. Divide pork mixture among lettuce cups; top with noodles, if using. Roll or fold lettuce around filling; serve.

If fruits and vegetables are part of this recipe, be sure to wash thoroughly.
