We love a lettuce wrap! The crisp crunch, the perfectly cradled filling, and that satisfied-but-not-stuffed feeling afterward—what a lunch idea! This version features pulled pork tossed with scallions, hoisin, Sriracha, and sesame seeds (hello flavor!). This tasty mix is tucked into lettuce leaves, draped with tangy lime-marinated cukes, and sprinkled with fresh cilantro and crispy fried onions. Best of all, this meal is ready to eat in just 10 minutes—just be sure to keep lots of napkins handy while you master your lettuce wrap-eating technique.

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce.
• Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Trim and slice cucumber lengthwise into ¼-inch-thick planks, then cut crosswise into ¼-inch-thick matchsticks.
• Place pulled pork* in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Using two forks, break up pork into smaller pieces; stir in scallion whites, hoisin, Sriracha, and half the sesame seeds. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until warmed through, 2-3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves. Reserve six whole leaves for serving (twelve whole leaves for 4 servings); thinly slice remaining leaves. Halve lime.
• In a second medium bowl, combine cucumber, scallion greens, remaining sesame seeds, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), juice from the lime, and a pinch of salt.
• Pick cilantro leaves from stems; tear leaves into pieces. Divide whole lettuce leaves between plates and fill with shredded lettuce, pork filling, and as much marinated cucumber as you like (draining first). Sprinkle with cilantro and crispy fried onions. Serve any remaining marinated cucumber on the side.
Pulled Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Reviews from our home cooks
You only showed this recipe once and it was the bomb. I want to order it again and again and again. But you've only showed it once. Can you have this - and more lettuce wraps added for choices? Really, out of all the recipes I've tried in Hello Fresh, the Hoisin Pulled Pork Lettuce Wraps made me want to eat both servings.
This was surprisingly very delicious! I loved all the flavors! The pulled pork was nice and tender. All the sauces made it very flavorful.
This tasted great. I'm slowly getting the hang of filling lettuce wraps as they always come out messy. The crispy onions were a nice added texture.
I have a suggestion. Instead of chopping up the lettuce to use on the wraps, just layer several leaves to make the wraps more sturdy and less messy. They hold more food this way.
The pork had a jelly on it and was too fatty for me. Instead of pulled pork it resembled dog food. However, once I got past the look, removed some of the fat/jelly, and put the ingredients together the taste was great. The lime was not ripe (too hard), therefore, I could only get a few drops of juice from the lime!
It was yummy, but it was a little salty (I added no salt) and it took a lot longer than 10 minutes to make.
Absolutely delicious and easy to prepare. Keep up the good work!
My husband loved this meal! We made it together and he thought it was so tasty.
This was a great recipe. The only thing was the cucumber wasn't any good. I improvised by using broccoli florets and carrots.
