Pork Veggie And Rice Noodle Lettuce Wraps With Sweet Chili Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Turn off the heat, add the rice noodles and stir to loosen. Let sit until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain well, then rinse thoroughly under cold water. Shake out as much water as possible, then transfer to a medium bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Set aside at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, whisk the chili sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, 6 tablespoons of water and 2 good pinches of salt in a small bowl until well combined.
• Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until hot and lightly browned at the edges, about 6 minutes. Add the vegetables and continue to cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes more. Add 2 tablespoons of the chili sauce mixture and toss until well coated and reduced slightly, about 1 minute more.
• Pull off 12 to 16 outer leaves from the head of lettuce. Fill the lettuce leaves with the rice noodles, pork and vegetable mixture, cilantro, mint and peanuts. Serve with the remaining chili sauce mixture on the side for dipping and drizzling.

Steps:

• Put a large pot of water on to boil for pasta.
• Place sweet hot mustard in a bowl. Whisk in Tamari sauce. Add stock and sesame oil to the broth and soy. Set aside.
• Slice the pork chop very thinly against the grain.
• When water for pasta boils, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high to high heat. To the skillet, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 turns of the pan in a slow stream. Add crushed pepper flakes to the oil, then the thinly sliced pork. Season pork with salt and pepper. Cook pork 2 minutes to caramelize the meat, then turn and stir-fry. Add salt to pasta water, then carrots. Blanch carrots for a minute, then remove with a slotted spoon. Add fresh linguini to boiling water. Transfer carrots to pork stir-fry. Add mushrooms, ginger, red bell pepper, scallions and bean sprouts. Toss and stir-fry veggies with pork for 2 minutes. Cook pasta to al dente. Drain and add to the pork and veggies. Pour Tamari and broth mixture over the noodles and pork. Toss and allow the noodles to completely soak up the liquids, a minute or so. Remove from heat. Serve large bowls of noodles, pork and veggies with a garnish of toasted sesame seeds or black sesame seeds. Break out the chopsticks!

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine pork, baking soda, and soya sauce. Set aside to marinate 5 minutes.
• In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Cook pork until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add remaining oil to the skillet and cook ginger, mushrooms and red peppers until softened, about 3 minutes. Add pork, green onions, sweet chili sauce and water to the skillet. Cook, stirring until the pork is cooked through, about 4 minutes.
• Spoon pork mixture onto lettuce leaves, sprinkle with peanuts. Roll up and enjoy with a side of rice or substitute flour tortillas for the lettuce wraps, if desired.
