Pork And Tofu Lettuce Cups Recipe

Pork and Tofu Lettuce Cups


INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons white or rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground pork
  • 1 block firm tofu, drained well and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 heads romaine lettuce, cleaned and separated into leaves
  • Toppings: 1 bag broccoli slaw (undressed), plus bean sprouts, fresh cilantro, fresh mint, and lime slices
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, vinegar, ginger, sugar, and garlic.
  2. In a medium sauté pan over moderately high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the ground pork and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess oil from the pan then add the sauce to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the tofu and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  3. To serve, scoop several heaping tablespoons of the pork and tofu mixture into each romaine lettuce “cup” then top with broccoli slaw, bean sprouts, cilantro, mint, and lime slices.
