Pork Lettuce Cups


I always use pork ribs to cook soup back in my home country, but in here, i use pork/chicken meat mostly and sometime, I'll faced with empty soup pot but leftover meat.  I learnt a good way to settle with the leftover meat from hubby's sharing recently.  He told me that his mum will normally fried it on the next day to make a dish instead of throw it away.  I've therefore follow the step and made this pork lettuce cups.

Ingredients:
  • Cooked pork meat (leftover from soup etc), minced
  • Cooked lotus root (leftover from lotus root soup), break into small pieces
  • Tomato (depending on the size of the leftover, for this, i use 1/4 of a tomato), cut into cubes
  • 1 tsp chopped garlic
  • 1 TBSP soy source
  • Salt & sugar (to taste)
  • Cooking oil
  • Some small lettuce cups

Steps:
  1. Place a wok/stir-fry pan over high heat, add the oil, swirling to coat the sides
  2. Add the garlic, cook and stirring until fragrant
  3. Add the pork meat, lotus root and tomato, continue stir- fry
  4. Add the soy source, pitch of salt & sugar, stir to mix well
  5. Transfer to a serving plate
To serve, take a spoonful of pork mixture and put in a lettuce cup, folds the lettuce around the filling and eat.  Or, just simply serve it as a dish to go with rice.  Enjoy!
