Korean Pork Lettuce Wraps

Before I get into just how amazing and delicious this healthy and easy recipe for Korean Pork Lettuce Wraps is, let me just first show you how I typed up this post.

My dog, Harley, who is basically my spoiled baby boy decided to cuddle up and fall asleep on me.

I wouldn’t even think to disturb him, so here I am typing one handed 🙂

Ok, so back to the recipe 🙂

And this is a darn good one, too!

How to make Korean Pork Lettuce Wraps

The Korean pork for these lettuce wraps starts with diced red bell pepper, onion, and shredded carrots.

I put them into a skillet over medium heat with a little olive oil for about 6 to 8 minutes.

Stirring occasionally of course.

Once the veggies are soft, but not quite cooked all the way.

I moved them over to one side to make room for the pork and spices.

I am using a pound of lean ground pork along with some Korean Gochujang chili paste, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and honey.

This will cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat.

Make sure you break apart the pork as it cooks.

I always have the best luck with my wooden spatula for breaking apart ground meats.

I’m going to be honest and say the hardest part of this dinner is waiting for this spicy pork to come to room temperature before filling the lettuce wraps.

It smells absolutely irresistible and it’s very difficult to not pick at as you wait.

I promise it’s worth the wait though!

You can pass the time by making a Spicy Korean Mayo to drizzle over top of the lettuce wraps.

Whisk together some mayo (or light mayo) with soy sauce and Korean Gochujang chili paste.

So once it’s finally at room temperature, fill the lettuce wraps and top with the Spicy Korean Mayo.

A little sesame seeds for garnish if you prefer and now it’s time to devour these mouthwatering Korean Pork Lettuce Wraps 🙂
