lil carb Marinated Pork Lettuce Wraps

Click above to watch me make these!!!

One of my go to meals lately has been lettuce wraps.  They are low carb friendly but also have a whimsical feel to them. This recipe in particular is great for 2 or cooking for a crowd because you can marinate the meat ahead of time and prepare the toppings and lettuce wraps before guests arrive. Cooking the pork takes minutes so you don't miss any of the party!  Plus, you know I believe everyone loves creating their own personalized food. Like I have said before with my Taco Chili or a burger bar- guests can feel special by creating exactly what they want based on the toppings that you provide.  This meal doesn't even have to be labeled as "low carb" you can offer a variety of toppings and let others decide. Most important, the flavors in this dish are pretty complex for only having a handful of ingredients.  I believe you will be pleasantly surprised! Plus who doesn't love the smell of fresh chopped ginger!


lil carb Marinated Pork Lettuce Wraps- Serves 2

Pork Marinade
1- 1.25 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat and sliced thin
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 Tbsp fresh ginger, chopped
1/4 cup green onion, sliced
1 tsp sesame oil
1 packet Truvia

Lettuce Wraps

1 head Bibb lettuce

Cole slaw mix*

    

Spicy Sauce

1/8 cup Sriracha Sauce

3 heaping Tbsp Sour Cream

1 tsp soy sauce

Trim and slice the pork tenderloin as thin as you can.
Mix together all of the marinade ingredients and add in the pork.
Refrigerate for at least an hour.

Heat a wok or large skillet on medium high heat with 1 tbsp of oil.
Add in the pork and the marinade.
Allow to cook stirring often until the pork is no longer pink.

Mix together the spicy sauce ingredients and taste- if it is too spicy for you add more sour cream. If it is not hot enough add in a squirt or two more of Sriracha sauce.

To assemble the lettuce wraps I take a lettuce leaf, top it with cole slaw, pork and then spicy sauce!

Enjoy!

*You can find the cole slaw mix by the bagged lettuce at your grocery store. It usually has shredded carrot, and white and purple cabbage. Other wise you can sub chopped cabbage!
