Asian Lettuce Wraps

Today we ate Asian Lettuce Wraps for lunch, and they were supper yummy!  It's like Pei Wei cooked at home, only much less expensive.  Here's the recipe...

1T vegetable oil
1 lb ground pork
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 tea minced garlic
2 carrots, shredded
3 T hoisin sauce
2 T soy sauce
1 tea sesame oil
1/4 tea hot chile paste
Some peanuts
1 head iceberg lettuce, separated

2 cups cooked rice

Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat.  Cook the pork, green onions, and garlic for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly brown.  Add carrot, peanuts, hoisin, and soy sauce, stirring frequently until heated through.  Remove from heat, and stir in the sesame oil and chile paste.  (Note:  if you like tofu, you can add a drained package when you add the carrot)

To serve, spoon a small amount of rice into each lettuce leaf, top with stir-fry mix, and drizzle with additional sauce if desired.

I also made rice noodles to go with the stir-fry for my kids who prefer noodles over rice.

Enjoy!
