- 2 teaspoons cooking oil of your choice (I used toasted sesame oil)
- 1 pound ground pork
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon minced lemongrass
- ½ cup finely chopped red pepper
- ½ cup chopped zucchini
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1-2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 12 lettuce cups (such as Romaine or butter lettuce)
- ½ cup coarsely grated carrot
- ½ cup coarsely grated kohlrabi
- 2-3 radishes, thinly sliced
Heat the oil in a large sauté pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the garlic, ginger, and lemongrass and sauté for 1 minute. Add the red pepper, zucchini, soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook for another minute. Remove from the heat.
To assemble the pork lettuce wraps, fill the lettuce cups with pork filling and top with grated carrot and kohlrabi and sliced radishes. Enjoy immediately.
