Summary
This Asian-inspired recipe contains ground pork and a velvety peanut sauce (made with the very same peanut butter that you use to make PB&J sandwiches when no one's looking) accentuated with sharp ginger, lime juice, and fresh herbs. Wrapped up in crispy lettuce, these cups can be eaten like tacos.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons (2 ounces/60 grams) creamy peanut butter (avoid using natural peanut butter, which won't blend as smoothly)
- 1 tablespoon palm sugar or light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce, plus more to taste
- 3 tablespoons juice, plus 2 teaspoons finely grated zest from about 3 limes
- 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce, plus more to taste
- 2 teaspoons sriracha hot sauce, plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 6 scallions, ends trimmed and thinly sliced
- 1 pound/450 grams ground pork
- 1 cup (6 ounces/180 grams) cooked quinoa
- 1/2 cup (1 ounce/30 grams) quinoa puffs
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup pea shoots, chopped
- 1/2 cup (2 1/2 ounces/75 grams) salted and roasted peanuts, chopped
