Pork Lettuce Wraps

If you want a quick tasty meal than this is your ticket. Ground pork is fried with added flavours of lemongrass, ginger, garlic and Hoisin  to name a few. The pork mixture is served onto individual romaine leaves. Store bought fried chow mein noodles are added for a little crunch. I place the pork mixture and romaine leaves on the table and everyone serves up their own wrap.
