Cookware
chef's knife · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · grater (optional) · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · nonstick skillet · stirring spoon
Directions
- Wash and dry all fresh produce.
- Make a small pickling liquid by whisking vinegar, sugar, and salt; set aside.
- Thinly slice the green onions and toss them into the pickling liquid; let them pickle while you cook.
- Roughly chop the cremini mushrooms and keep them ready.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the bottom; crumble the pork into the pan and season with salt, cooking until browned and crumbly, about 5–7 minutes.
- In a separate small bowl, mince the ginger and garlic; mix with sesame seeds, soy sauce, and a bit of vinegar to form the sauce.
- Add the mushrooms to the pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms brown, about 4–5 minutes.
- Halve and pit the avocado, scoop out the flesh, and slice into thin half-moons.
- When the pork and mushrooms are done, stir the sauce into the skillet and heat through, about 30 seconds; remove from heat.
- Separate the lettuce into leaves and arrange on plates, using two leaves per wrap. Fill with the pork mixture, then top with pickled onions and avocado, and serve.
Two tips
- Make the pickling mix and onions ahead of time for faster assembly.
- If you have extra avocado, slice more and tuck inside or serve on the side as a topping.
