Vietnamese Lettuce Wraps
Post Author: Jenny McCoy
These hand-built wraps are healthy, delicious, and very easy to duplicate at home.
Simply saute some very thin slices of pork in canola oil, seasoned with fresh garlic, chopped scallion and grated ginger. Next, cook rice vermicelli noodles in boiling, salted water; once tender, drain and cool.
Then layer the pork slices, rice noodles, whole fresh mint leaves, thin strips of carrot, sliced cucumber and chopped peanuts onto large romaine lettuce leaves. Squeeze a small wedge of fresh lime juice on top, roll up, and dig in!

I love Banh Hoi - it’s one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes! At most Vietnamese restaurants, diners can choose grilled pork, shrimp, chicken, and meatballs to roll into the lettuce leaves with the noodles, cucumber and pickled vegetables, and if you really want to gild the lily, wrap everything in a softened rice paper and roll it up.
