From "Food and Wine" magazine, September 2006 ed. I decreased the amount of oil used. This does require quite an inventory of ingredients, but it is worth it!

GINGER PORK LETTUCE WRAPS



Ginger Pork Lettuce Wraps image

this recipe is adapted from the march 2005 food and wine magazine. easy and tasty, 2 requirements to weeknight dinners. i served this as an appetizer, but i guess it could be a light lunch too. The meat should be sliced very thin before it's boiled; to make slicing easier, freeze the loin for an hour first. The kimchi, a Korean pickled cabbage is sold in supermarkets and Asian groceries.there are also alot of good recipes here, i recommend recipe #50792 kimchee in a day by sharon 123..
