Pork Lettuce Wraps

Pork Lettuce Wraps

I have been doing these Pork Lettuce Wraps for a long time, and they are always well received by all: children and adults. They are flavorful, light and different. Also quick to prepare.

The first time I ate them was at the Chang Cheng of Avenida Las Condes at least 20 years ago, and then here in the USA at the P.F. Chang, which now also exists in Chile. Funny.

This was one of the first recipes I shared on the blog in 2008. Without pictures and only in Spanish, and even if it’s not from South America is being enjoyed for so long it belongs.
