Oriental Minced Pork in Lettuce leaves

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.

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon sesame oil
1 Medium brown onion, finely chopped
3 Cloves garlic, crushed
350g Pork mince
300g Veal mince
50ml 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
300g Bean sprouts
4 Green onions sliced
1 Tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
8 Large iceberg lettuce leaves


Method

1. 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.

2. Add capsicum and sauces, reduce to a simmer, cook uncovered, stirring occasionally for about 4-5 Min's.

3. Add sprouts and cook until they soften slightly but are still crunchy, stir in green onions and seeds.

4. 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.
