Ingredients for Asian Style Lettuce Wraps

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Ground Pork
  • Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

How to Make Asian Style Lettuce Wraps

  1. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add 1 lb ground pork and 1/2 lb ground beef to the skillet. Break up the meat with a spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Add 1 medium carrot, shredded, and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, and 1-2 tablespoons chili paste (adjust to your spice preference).
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Stir in 1 cup bean sprouts just before serving.
  8. Spoon the meat mixture into large lettuce leaves (butter lettuce or romaine work well).
  9. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
