Spicy Thai Pork Lettuce Wraps
These vibrant Spicy Thai Pork Lettuce Wraps balance fiery heat with bright, tangy notes, wrapped in cool, crisp lettuce leaves. Ground pork is sautéed with shallots until golden, then coated in a glossy sauce of palm sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, and chili flakes for a sticky, savory-sweet heat. Fresh cilantro and spring onion add a peppery freshness that cuts through the richness, while the lettuce provides a delicate, refreshing vessel. A dish that’s as fun to assemble as it is to eat, it delivers bold Thai flavors without the fuss.
