Lettuce Boats
These quick and easy Lettuce Boats are delicious and versatile. Enjoy them for snacks, appetizers or a main dish. You can make the meat mixture ahead of time; it reheats beautifully in the microwave, and it freezes well in vacuum bags. If desired, you can substitute ground chicken or turkey for the ground pork.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In large skillet over medium high heat, cook the onion and ground pork until pork is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. While cooking, use your spoon to break up the pork into small pieces, pea-size or smaller.
- 2
Add the minced garlic to the meat and cook another minute.
- 3
Add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and sriracha sauce (just a small dash!) and stir well. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the diced water chestnuts. Cook another 2 minutes to heat everything through.

I like to serve by dishing up the meat mixture in individual bowls, sprinkled with minced green onions and chopped dry roasted peanuts; give everyone a teaspoon so they can fill their lettuce leaves one at a time as they eat them. You eat these similar to how you eat a taco; finger food.

Lettuce Sushi Rolls Lettuce Sushi Rolls
When I was young, I often asked my mother to put these in my bentos for excursions and sporting events. I love how it feels like a salad, even though it's actually a main dish.Apparently, these lettuce rolls are originally from Miyazaki prefecture!! I had no idea. I live somewhere else, but I had them all the time as a child, so I grew up thinking they were known throughout the country. If you've never had these before, please give them a try! I've heard that people in Miyazaki use boiled shrimp instead of crab sticks! That sounds good, too!I didn't include cucumbers here, but they make a great filling for these rolls as well.This dish is a great when lettuce is inexpensive! Recipe by pom130
