I love Asian inspired dishes and lettuce wraps have always been one of my favorites. The autoimmune protocol can make it a bit tricky to create an amazing sauce but I think you guys are really going to love this one. It’s sweet and tangy and all-around perfect! Don’t let the number of ingredients scare you. I promise this is an easy, fast recipe that can be thrown together on a busy weeknight. I used pork but you can easily substitute chicken or turkey or even veggies if you want to keep it vegan. Enjoy!
