Grilled Sticky Pork Lettuce Wraps
Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp brown sugar
pinch cinnamon
pinch five-spice powder
4 thin-cut pork loin steaks
1 carrot, sliced into matchsticks
1 lime, juiced
1 tbsp canola oil
½ cucumber, cut into matchsticks
16 soft lettuce leaves (I like Boston bib or butter lettuce)
sweet chili sauce, to serve
Directions:
1. Make the marinade by mixing the soy with the honey, brown sugar, spices, and 1 tbsp water. Put the pork in a shallow bowl, pour the marinade over, turn to ensure the steaks are well coated, then leave to marinate for at least 30 mins.
2. Mix the carrot with the lime juice. Brush a piece of foil with oil and line the grill pan. Grill the pork steaks (or griddle if you prefer) for 4 mins each side. Keep an eye on them in case the sugar in the marinade starts to blacken. When cooked, cut the pork into strips.
3. Lay the lettuce leaves out on a board and divide the pork between them. Add some carrot and cucumber, then fold in both ends of the lettuce leaf and roll up from one side to contain the filling. Serve with sweet chili sauce, if you like.
