Ginger Pork, Mushroom & Avocado Lettuce Wraps with Pickled Green OnionGinger Pork, Mushroom & Avocado Lettuce Wraps with Pickled Green Onion — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 13 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 avocados

1 ½ heads butter (Boston) lettuce

0.68 kg cremini mushrooms

3 cloves garlic

4 (2 ½ cm) pieces ginger root

1 ½ small bunches green onions (scallions)

1.02 kg lean ground pork

brown sugar

rice vinegar

salt

sesame seeds

soy sauce

toasted sesame oil

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Place vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl; stir to combine the pickling liquid.

Trim and cut green onions crosswise into thin pieces. Add to the bowl with the pickling liquid, stir to combine, and set aside.

Roughly chop mushrooms. Place in a medium bowl and set aside.

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add pork and salt; cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, 7-8 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel and mince ginger and garlic. Place both in another small bowl along with sesame seeds, soy sauce, and additional vinegar. Stir to combine the sauce.

When the pork is done, add the mushrooms to the pot. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms start to brown, 5-6 minutes.

Meanwhile, halve and pit avocados; using a spoon, scoop out the flesh and slice crosswise into thin half-moons.

When the mushrooms are done, add sauce to the pot and stir to combine. Continue to cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Separate the lettuce into leaves. Pile leaves, in stacks of two per wrap, onto plates. Fill each wrap with the pork mixture, then top with pickled green onions and avocado. Enjoy!
