Oriental Minced Pork in Lettuce Leaves image

This is a very tasty, quick and easy recipe to throw together. I serve it in iceberg lettuce leaves as a great low carb meal, but if prefer carbs it is great served with noodles.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 medium brown onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
350 g pork mince
300 g veal mince
50 ml soy sauce (low sodium works best with this but regular is fine)
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 red capsicum, finely chopped
300 g bean sprouts
4 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
8 leaves iceberg lettuce

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a pan or wok, stir-fry onion and garlic until onion is soft, add both minces and stir-fry until cooked through.
  • Add capsicum and sauces, reduce to a simmer, cook uncovered, stirring occasionally for about 4-5 Min's.
  • Add sprouts and cook until they soften slightly but are still crunchy, stir in green onions and seeds.
  • Divide lettuce leaves among plates and spoon pork mixture into leaves.
  • Tip: After removing outer dead leaves, cut the end off lettuce and hold under cold running water, the leaves will fall off one by one, intact.
