Vietnamese Pork and Scallion Lettuce Wraps

Vietnamese Pork and Scallion Lettuce Wraps Recipe

What a great, tasty meal this is. I found this recipe years ago somewhere on the Internet, and it is definitely a staple for us. You can substitute chicken for the pork, if desired. I also make just the sauce and use it as a sweet/sour stir fry sauce. Everyone assembles their own lettuce wraps, which is also fun for kids! Fantastique!
