These Citrus Pork Lettuce Wraps are packed with so much flavour, you will be coming back for more again and again! The bright, citrusy sauce is poured into the pan, allowing the ground meat to marinate in it while it cooks. Feel free to use any ground meat you like in this recipe, including pork, chicken, turkey, beef, or even tofu for a vegan option. The marinated meat is then wrapped in Lepp’s Butter lettuce leaves and topped with a creamy peanut sauce. You can add some cooked rice to make this more filling, and some chopped peanuts or water chestnuts for extra texture. And if cilantro is your thing, sprinkle a bit on top to bring all the flavours together! Don’t hold back from dipping the wrap into more peanut sauce before diving in!
In a measuring glass mix together the ingredients for the citrus sauce. Set aside.
In a large frying pan on medium heat, add the ground pork and cook for 10 minutes or until cooked through. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the citrus sauce and stir for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
While the pork is cooking, mix together the peanut sauce ingredients. Adjust the consistency with more or less water.
When everything is prepared, place a scoop of the pork in a leaf of butter lettuce and add a drizzle of peanut sauce. Dress it up with fresh cilantro, green onion, or chili oil on top and enjoy!
Notes
You can use any citrus in this sauce! Try it with orange or lemon.
