Ingredients

Pork and Tofu Lettuce Cups
• 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons white or rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons grated ginger
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 pound lean ground pork
• 1 block firm tofu, drained well and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 2 heads romaine lettuce, cleaned and separated into leaves
Toppings
• 1 bag broccoli slaw (undressed)
• bean sprouts
• fresh cilantro
• fresh mint
• lime slices

Instructions

1. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, vinegar, ginger, sugar, and garlic.
2. In a medium sauté pan over moderately high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the ground pork and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess oil from the pan then add the sauce to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the tofu and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
3. To serve, scoop several heaping tablespoons of the pork and tofu mixture into each romaine lettuce “cup” then top with broccoli slaw, bean sprouts, cilantro, mint, and lime slices.
