Homemade Street Food | Sweet and Sticky Pork Lettuce Wrap

Quick 6-Ingredient Pork & Pineapple Lettuce Wraps


“Sweet and sticky food that drips down your wrist and makes you grateful for napkins.“

The Least Boring 6 Ingredient Wrap

These 6-Ingredient Pork Lettuce Wraps are the type of eats I imagine you’d find in a late-night alley in Bangkok. Except in this case, it’s you, at your own stove, making something fast, and deeply satisfying.

And, it all started with extra pan-fried pork in the fridge…⬇️

As you can see from the video, the prep is easy.

Brown some pork with onions. Toss in the hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and fresh pineapple to create a sweet, sticky, and saucy filling. Then liberally spoon onto the 6th ingredient – a crisp leaf of lettuce!
