Ginger Pork Lettuce Wraps

If you love sang chow bow, you’re going to love these ginger pork lettuce cups!

The crunch & refreshing iceberg lettuce works beautifully with this ginger pork mix. This is a really refreshing, light meal, perfect as the weather gets warmer!

Sometimes we mix it up and have this with rice as well, you can absolutely add rice to this mixture to bulk it out & make it a bigger meal & go a bit further. This is also a good one to have for leftover, have it with rice in the evening and switch it up to lettuce cups for lunch the next day.

Why it’s good for you

Peanuts are a great source of monounsaturated fats & pork is a leaner red meat but is still high in iron which is particularly important as so many women are iron deficient. This meal focuses on getting more veg by using lettuce as wraps!

Notes

1. If it’s within your budget, choose free range pork

2. Add rice to bulk it out & make it go further

3. Swap up the veg-capsicum, snow peas, beans or mushrooms would also make it taste delicious-essentially make it yours & use what you have in your fridge

4. Low FODMAP: Swap garlic for garlic infused olive oil (or leave out completely) & green tips of spring onions instead of onion
