A significant amount of meat was leftover after making Emeril Lagasse’s oven roasted pork tenderloin recipe from the Food Network website a few nights ago. My mom decided to make use of the leftover pork by making lettuce wraps with ingredients already in our fridge and pantry. We paired the pork with shredded carrots, scallions, peanuts, sweet and sour sauce and soy sauce. The combination of flavors was absolutely delicious.
The tenderness of the pork juxtaposed the slight crunchiness of the shredded carrots and salty peanuts. When wrapped up in a fresh and crisp butter lettuce cup, the texture was perfect.
Lettuce wraps made for a simple and delicious additional meal from the leftover pork.
