GROUND PORK, WATER CHESTNUTS AND CRISPY NOODLE LETTUCE CUPS
Lettuce cups with savory, sweet pork and crunchy noodles are a favorite in Chinese-American restaurants. They are also incredibly easy to cook at home! The new-to-some ingredient here is mushroom soy sauce. Most soy sauces are one-note salty and need supporting characters, like sugar, to balance them. They can also lack deep savoriness. Mushroom soy sauce is a smooth, rich and caramel-like sauce that really gives body and balance to a dish. Here, I like to make platters of the filling and lettuce separately for parties or just serve them individually prepared for a fancy starter or meal.

Steps:
- Prepare the mushrooms: Soak the mushrooms in the hot water in a small heatproof bowl until reconstituted, about 20 minutes. Chop into small dice and reserve.
- Prepare the crispy noodles: Heat 3 to 4 inches of canola oil in a medium saucepan or high-sided skillet until 365 degrees F.
- Break up the vermicelli into 2 batches. Fry each batch, carefully flipping once about halfway through, until puffed, about 2 minutes; drain on paper towels. Reserve for garnish.
- Heat a 9- to 11-inch skillet over high heat for about a minute. Swirl in the 2 tablespoons oil to coat the bottom. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until browned, 20 to 30 seconds. Add the ground pork, press flat with a spatula and cook, undisturbed, until the bottom starts to brown. Break apart and press down to repeat the process until the pork is 60% browned.
- Stir in the onions, water chestnuts and mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the pork is about 90% cooked through and the pork mixture smells amazing, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in the mushroom soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine and pepper and cook, continuing to work it all together, until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat while you prepare the lettuce.
- Cut the core out of the head of lettuce and discard, then cut the head in half through the core. Discard a few outer leaves until you pull out about a dozen nice leaves. Place those leaves on a large platter. Fill each lettuce cup with about 1/2 cup of the pork mixture then garnish with the scallions and about 1/4 cup of the crispy noodles on top.

Number Of Ingredients 20
Steps:
- Make the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Transfer the cabbage to a plate to cool. Wipe out the pan, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and the mushrooms. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to the plate with the cabbage to cool.
- Lightly beat the eggs and egg white in a large bowl. Add the pork, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and cornstarch. Add the cabbage, mushrooms and a few grinds of pepper and mix with your hands until just combined (do not overmix). Dampen your hands and shape the meat mixture into 18 balls (about 2 inches each); arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make the sauce: Mix the hoisin sauce, Sriracha, vinegar, sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl; set aside 1/2 cup for serving. Brush the meatballs with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Bake until cooked through, 18 to 22 minutes. Serve in lettuce leaves with the reserved sauce.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the shallot, lemongrass, garlic and chilli for 3 mins until fragrant. Add the pork mince and stir-fry for about 10 mins more until the pork is cooked through and browned. Add the fish sauce, sugar and lime juice, and cook for a couple more minutes until the pork is coated in the mixture. To freeze, leave to cool completely, then transfer to a freezer bag, seal and lay flat in the freezer (so the mince stays in a thin layer). Will keep for up to two months. Defrost in the fridge overnight before using. Reheat in a dry frying pan over a low heat until piping hot.
- Divide the pork mince between the lettuce leaves and garnish with the spring onions, carrots and herbs, then serve.
