Create a favorite restaurant treat right at home with these savory and sweet Thai lettuce wraps. Start with lean ground pork, season it to perfection with ginger and Sriracha, and then spoon the mixture into crisp lettuce cups. When paired with a savory Asian sesame dipping sauce, the result is a healthy mélange of tastes and textures that's fun to eat.

My 15 year old daughter and I have totally bonded over preparing these meals. The produce was great, we are trying new foods. We added a quick Asian style rice as a side dish. This was a great meal and we felt great after eating! Good but not heavy!
